Answer:
first question:
They had a greater motivation and purpose.
They fought for freedom.
second question:
Not all Americans supported the struggle.
They lacked experience and weapons.
Step-by-step explanation:
the patriots were people who wanted freedom and said "down with the king's rule" in America.
however, if even with the motivation, if students were sent to the battlefield, we would be no match (or weaker in performance) compared to the fully trained soldiers. this is the same as patriots. some were hunters but not all were professionals at fighting compared to the soldier who were trained to fight.
