Answer 1

Low or lack of pay (for the soldiers). A great many often times switched sides throughout the course of the war, hoping for better pay and treatment. The civilians were forced to give up their homes (quartering) and their food reserves. Members of Congress found it necessary to vote themselves a small stipend. It costs money to stay away from the family farm for extended periods. Also, what they were doing, was treasonous to the crown and should they be caught, they'd have been hanged. There were plenty of disagreements between members of congress -- a classic example would be the Federalist Papers -- a series of editorials designed to degrade the opponent and sway public opinion. Ultimately, the greatest difficulty was the forming of a new government. The attempt was to take the best of all known forms of government, balance them out and put it into effect. The first attempt failed and they had to then go back and rewrite the ground rules -- giving birth to what we now know as The Constitution.

Answer 2

One of the main problems was organization. There was no strong federal government to coordinate so each state had militias that didn't always plan things out well. Good thing we had George Washington. There was no permanent volunteer standing army, money and supplies were hard to come by, and Britain almost won. Also, under the Articles of Confederation, the federal govt was so weak it couldn't tax or make any binding laws.
