Valley Forge Would you have left? These times are not the best, but the spirit within us troops is still intact and helps us move forward so that we can take what we deserve, what we need, the most precious thing that man desires...The freedom. 1777-1778 Valley Forge was horrible and deadly, the conditions were terrible, I can't imagine anyone living with these conditions. I want to re-enlist because I have spirit, I want to serve for my country and I want freedom from the dirty hands of the English. Why did General Washington go to Valley Forge and make us camp there? I mean, it's killing us, but the real question is: should I stay or should I go now? The first reason I will re-enlist is that the spirit within me can never be broken and America can be free from the evil grip of the English. In Doc B. Washington appears to be talking to the deputies and the soldiers cheer, even the wounded ones. And Congress had provided Washington with supplies such as food and clothing. And some members of Congress stayed at Valley Forge and that benefited the army with more supplies. And the British had no idea where we were and that was the best part. I mean, just because the English have Philadelphia, we have the advantage. The 2nd doc. We had 12,000 men when we were at Valley Forge. But then came the bad things like frostbite, starvation, and smallpox. Luckily Washington was immune to those things at Valley Forge. But I couldn't say the same thing about the army because those things were the main problem and ten men were dying a day. After that we were only at 8,000 men, but the men still had their spirit within them. only 50% of the troops were sick, which was critical, but the other 50% weren't sick and I guess that's a good thing, Washington's plan didn't calm down... middle of paper... Washington he paid the troops with 10 dollar coins, so many troops didn't resign after being paid handsomely and stayed and trained, so they can have the freedom they deserve. The English will now taste the colonists' bullets and will be defeated. The troops experienced the most difficult moments of their lives, they had no meat, no clothes and their skin rotted. But they still had high spirits, even when they were sick they had fought a huge winter for their lives. They thought that their independence for each settler was more important than their life, in other words they put the life of the innocent first, because without sacrifice there is no victory. We were at Valley Forge for 6 months and made it, with lots of troops and about to give the British a war they will never forget. This war will determine which side gets their wish, total control, or freedom to all colonists.
