Answer 2

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Von Steuben said the Americans at Valley Forge were different from troops in Austria and France because he was used to dealing with professional soldiers in well-organized armies. Many Americans were not professional soldiers, they were farmers, citizens, volunteers, that had no military experience and were not used to military discipline. That is why they questioned orders.

Baron Von Steuben arrived at Valley Forge on February 23, 1778. He was a Prussian military officer that came to America to help train the Continental Army under the orders of General George Washington. The goal was to prepare a well trained and organized American Army.
