In Valley Forge, a lot of people got sick and died or got sick and survived. There were a lot of diseases at Valley Forge. Some people gave up on Valley Forge but some didn’t and they became more trained soldiers. It is February 1, 1778 and about one-half of the troops are too sick to report for roll call.

The Colonial army lead by George Washington set up camp in Valley Forge to keep an eye on the British. It is winter and the colonial army is ill-prepared. I think that you should leave Valley Forge. One source of information is on the sick and death rate at Valley Forge (Doc A). About 25% of the people who went to Valley Forge died of diseases.
The development of the stalemate on the western front in November of 1914 was a result of multiple faults in the German Schlieffen plan and the French Plan XVII. the western front was developed toward the end of 1914 when Germany and France commence digging trenches, installing barbed wire boundaries, and introducing standing artillery. Introducing the western front created a stagnant war and thrusted forward the infamous stalemate. As Source A indicates ,the battle of the Marne had forced both Germany and France to dig trenches which created equal opposition.
Valley Forge was a Patriot camp during the American Revolution. It was used by General George Washington and soldiers. The campsite was a harsh place and the winter made nearly impossible to live. For, us , soldiers it was a living hell. The Patriots reached Valley Forge in December 1777 ( Doc A ).

Valley Forge is where George Washington came to a winter camp next to Pennsylvania and tried to help because of the harsh weather and poor amount of food, water, and clothing they were provided with. They thought they could make an army and be get strong to be powerful to be ready to fight the enemies. They call this Valley Forge. I would quit Valley Forge because research shows that about 50% of people died because of the harsh weather and the many illnesses that went around. In December to June 1,800 to 2,500 people died due to illness during the encampment.
In 1777, winter takes over and causes many illnesses, but many brave soldiers stay at Valley Forge and train for the war. Valley Forge is a winter camp that was used in the American Revolution, about 18 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Valley Forge was smaller than a village and had small log huts that were 16’ by 14’. I would stay at Valley Forge. There are three different reasons that I have for staying.
When the spanish invaded my group was worried because they might become slaves and obey them. I think that Montezuma had to become a slave because a slave but im not to sure. There consaques was to obey them and do whatever the king or leader say to them for what they can do. If they didnt obey them they would pronaly die. The author said,’’ They were devastated by conquering armies and by disease, and made to work as slaves’’’
The army fell short of the ideal image the American public had created for it, as it lacked experience and professionalism. However, this would not last forever. The army gained professionalism during their time at Valley Forge, eventually resembling the institution the America public feared. Royster, defines Valley Forge as a, “test of national survival because it had been a test of the army’s survival amid hardships caused in large by fellow revolutionaries” (190). It also marked a turning point in the war, as it was the last time the revolutionaries expected to be united with the same enthusiasm as in 1775.
Stay, fight, win at Valley Forge The Continental Army, which are people fighting in the Revolutionary war for U.S., are staying at Valley Forge in 1777. They were staying at Valley Forge because they are keeping an eye on the British army. I will stay at Valley Forge because not many people are staying so they need more people now more than ever. In The American Crisis by Thomas Paine (Document D) it shows that people want to win. Thomas Paine says that if it’s hard work then it’s worth more, than if it’s a easy win you wouldn’t care as much.
First off, Dr. Albigence Waldo, who wrote a diary at Valley Forge states, "Poor food – hard lodging – Cold Weather – fatigue – Nasty Clothes – nasty Cookery..." This quote shows that not only did the soldiers have bad and small amounts of food, but also horribly built shelters, trapping smoke in making it impossible to breathe. Additionally, he states, "Why are we sent here to starve and Freeze.... There comes a Soldier, his bare feet are seen thro’ his worn out Shoes," This quote shows that the living conditions were so bad at Valley Forge that people didn't even have clothes and shoes to wear in the middle of winter. I'm not sure about you
The Newburgh Conspiracy After the battle of Yorktown was won, the British defeated, and independence secured, peace did not completely embody the young United States. The eight years of war had put the infant country into a debt measured at over 25 million (Herbert). This constituted a deficit in pay for the soldiers who had dedicated their time to the cause. General George Washington, in command of the Continental Army at that time, was at the center of the large military sedition, later known as the Newburgh Conspiracy. A series of letters circulated the army’s encampment at Newburgh, New York, claiming that the soldiers should take action against the congress in order to gain their pension.
It is now May, 1778. The army is preparing to leave Valley Forge and renew hostilities with the British. The suffering we endured in Valley Forge was horrible. We spent the winter season starving, freezing, and dying of diseases. Thousands had no shoes and even clothes.
Valley Forge was a winter camp 18 miles away from Philadelphia, where George Washington took his troops during 1777 and 1778. The British army is comfortable in Philadelphia, while Valley Forge has harsh conditions with the cold weather and the lack of supplies. I will not reenlist when my 9-month enlistment is over. I will not reenlist for these reasons, diseases, lack supplies, and cold weather and smoky air.
Therefore, I choose to stay at Valley Forge, for there is a chance for me to not die of sickness because of the medical care, there is also patriotism, and people are willing to fight for our freedom. The documents A and C prove that only 14% died of sickness. there were about 12,000 of us to start with, and only about 1,800- 2500 died from December to June. Therefore, that leaves just about 9,500 of us left. However, with all the people that abandoned the Continental Army leaves us with just about 8,000 of us.
In the winter, Washington took his troops to Valley Forge, which was 18 miles from Philadelphia. At this time, Valley Forge was a difficult place to live for the Patriots. It was a struggle but if I were a Patriot in Valley Forge fighting for Washington’s Army, I wouldn’t quit. I won’t quit for three big reasons; yes I know there were a lot of sick soldiers but not as much as dying soldiers, another thing is the conditions were horrible, but there were many brave soldiers who stuck with it, and stayed with Washington, lastly I do not want to be a “summer soldier” because freedom is valuable so it is worth fighting for.
