It was tough and tiring being a soldier in the Revolutionary war. They had to go out every day and shoot at other people. Also they got shot at almost the whole day. It was very painful when they got hit by a bullet and they didn’t have very experienced doctors. Also they didn’t get many brakes unless the battle moved to somewhere else. Another thing that made it harder for them was they didn’t have the most high tech gear or guns. Finally they didn’t have a huge choice, if they didn’t fight they would have been called a traitor or a coward and no one wanted to be called a traitor.

I was obviously not there at the time when the American Revolution started. However, I can assume that it was very tough, tiring and dangerous. Imagine eating breakfast, and immediately going to war. This means very little time with your family. Also, there is a big chance that you will get injured or even killed. Plus, holding all of your guns, running, trying to survive and make you tired.

It was very hard to be a soldier because you had to prepare by shooting targets and practice amming a musket.
The minute men also had a hard job, they had to get their gear on in 1-2 minutes. They were both very skilled at shooting and amming. All in all it was very hard for the soldiers to fight.

To be an American soldier was hard and tiring . There were two different types of soldiers one was the minutemen. The minutemen were young men in there 20's who could reading in about 1 minute. Also they were hand picked by their officers, their officers knew that they could perform well in special training. Minute men had past training. They were also at least a middle classmen. The other group were the militias men. In the 1600's, Massachusetts created the militias. Made up of men who were in the age group of 16-60. They were able to provide forces that were capable. Also were middle classmen.

Being an American soldier in the Revolutionary war was probably very exhausting. It was a very hard job. They had to fight and could possibly get very injured or hurt. You had to be between or close to the age of 16-60 years old. You had to carry around these big muskets everywhere you went. Some people also got to have a swords with them. You could also have this pouch called a haversack to carry food or personal items. You usually had to leave the dead behind and focus on the ones that are injured and get them out of there to a safe place. They did not have high tech gear to keep them safe during the war. Another thing is that they did not have many experienced doctors back then to help the colonists after they got hurt in the war.

It was extremely exhausting, and would  be a very hard job.  They had very few protection items and weapons. So just from that they could get killed or injured very easily. Also you could be very young and still fight. The limit was 16 - 60! Last, they didn't have a lot of training unless your a soldier for the British and came to the colonists side.

Being a soldier in the Revolutionary War would be a lot of work because you can't be a soldier until you are 16 and we carry some advanced weaponry that can damage you if you are not careful. Also there are many elements to learn when you are at war. Stealth, Aim and Hiding.

Being an american soldier would be a hard job. I think this because there is a high chance of injury and death. Also it was rugged and cold on most of the battle fields. you also had to carry a lot of stuff including a musket, your gunpowder, and your blankets or bulkier items. Another reason it was hard to be a soldier was because

To be an American soldier meant you had to have a full commitment. You needed to be willing to fight even though it was a hard job. To fight you had to be n good shape and be around the ages 16-60.  You would have to fight against highly trained British soldiers. You would have to be ready on short notice and be willing to fight. You didn't have to commit to fighting but you be called a trader. These was high chances of injury and death so I think that is why some people didn't want to fight

It was probably very normal to be chosen or volunteer to be a soldier in the war, the only requirement was to be in healthy condition or rather healthy enough to move around, hide, and shoot your musket at far enough range from the target. You also had to be male and between the age of 16-60. Also why i'm saying it was probably normal because you could just wake up in the morning eat breakfast and leave home into a war zone with a flintlock musket and the will to fight. Then after the enemies were either killed or they retreated you could go back to your home eat lunch or dinner and then go to bed and wake up the next day to do the same thing again. This also goes for both the colonist or the British soldiers, and if you were a colonist you were expected to you use your training that you did up to four half-days each week. You also usually had to leave the dead behind and focus on the people still standing or the injured.

If you were a American  Soldier you could chose  to fight for the land. if you were 16-60 years you could vote for people to go into the fight. The men that were chosen to fight you were four times a year for training usually on the local village green. If you went home if the British retreated you got to go home eat dinner, wake up and eat breakfast and say that you are going to your job as a fighter. If you were lucky you could survive without of getting hit with a bullet. On both sides were training to aim when firing their weapons the militiamen clearly aimed at individual targets, particularly British officers who were easy marks. Once the fight began,some of the militia companies  broke ranks and took shots at the British anytime they could. Other militiamen rode their houses to a weak point along the British column,fired,and then rode on to find another good location.

Being an American Solider  during the American Revolution was like being in a regular war. But it was different because you did not have bombs and matching uniforms. they only had muskets and horses. It was propably hard because they did not have swords. So it would be hard. When the war started in the middle of the night the soldiers had to get up early and get dressed. If they got injured the colonists would help the injured soldier. You had to be skilled to be a militias because a British soldier said that the mailitias knew what they were doing.
