The states had the responsibility to determine how the clothing, food, and other financial aspects were to be paid for the Continental Army soldiers. These states disagreed on how the money to pay for these obligations would be obtained leaving shortages on supplies, shelter, clothing, and other necessities for the soldiers. Congress did not have the power to raise taxes to pay for them.

Some companies paid them money to ignore these problems.
For a while, they couldn't! Although the pay for a private was only $6, the Congress almost never was able to pay the soldiers. In fact, only the soldiers' respect for their Commander, George Washington, kept many from deserting. In In the year 1783, after the war was over, the soldiers still had not been paid their salaries, and the Congress was chased out of Philadelphia by its own army!
It cost Americans $400 million, which was 20 times the original price they had paid for the Philippines in the first place.
The Continental Soldiers got paid very little. So little that 10 dollars was like their double pay. The Redcoats got paid with gold coins.
£500 for new £1000 for others xx
some soldiers get paid alot
They weren't paid.
In the UK and continental Europe they got paid in the currency of the country they were stationed in.
I am sure they were paid pretty heavy, they also were allowed to take the Jews belongings, houses, money, etc.( i mean, who is there to stop them)
Yes. Being a Soldier is a paid job.

They were paid approximately $13.
$100 dollars for every three days of service were paid to their families or directly to the soldiers. Love you.....

They got paid by paper money. Whitch was worth nothing because no precious metal backed it up.
