What factor(s) made it difficult for George Washington to recruit forces for the Continental army?

The Continental Army struggled to attract recruits because service was risky and the war’s outcome was uncertain, while soldiers were paid poorly. Those conditions made enlistment less appealing than choices that focused on British political pressure, militia resistance, or a long-term service requirement alone. The best answer is “the uncertainty of the war and low pay for soldiers.”
