Answer 1

The difficulties the U.S. faced in preparing for war with Britain included:

• Britain had a much larger navy than the U.S.
• The U.S. had a small army compared to Britain.

The option about France backing out is not applicable to the initial stages of preparing for war, and enslaved African Americans' refusal to help fight is not a widely documented factor.
