Answer 1

Answer:

Britain put a ban on trade and money was scarce.

Explanation:

Different than Great Britain, the Patriots did not have money nor credit. The Patriots did not have money and Britain banned trade on that moment - which was one of the main reasons for the American Revolution War -. The Patriots needed French Assistance but also most of the Patriots paid for their war, merchants, suppliers, planters, families, and soldiers.
