Ch. 6, section 2: The War Continues pg. 172 Main Idea: As the Revolutionary War continued, the Americans received support from European countries. Key Terms: Desert Inflation

Gaining Allies European nations decided to help the American cause. France and Spain were at war with the British in Europe and hated the British. They realized that the Americans had a chance to win their war, so they offered assistance.

Gaining Allies France first secretly gave money to help the American war effort and then publicly announced its support. In February 1778, the French and the Americans worked out a trade agreement and an alliance. France declared war on Britain and gave the Americans money equipment, and troops to fight the British.

Gaining Allies Spain and the Netherlands were at war with Britain. Spain did not recognize America’s independence until after the Revolution the Spanish governor of Louisiana, Bernardo de Galvez, helped the war effort.

Harsh Times Washington’s troops spent a hard winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The army lacked enough food, clothing, and shelter. Some men deserted; others resigned. Continental Army survived. In April news of France’s alliance cheered them.

French Help Prepare A French nobleman, Marquis de Lafayette, spent the winter at Valley Forge. He offered his services and became one of Washington’s trusted aides. Trained the soldiers daily Helped them stay warm and be better prepared for battle

European Help Other Europeans also volunteered to help. 1. Casimir Pulaski from Poland died fighting for the Continental Army in Friedrich von Steuben from Germany taught military discipline to Washington’s troops. 3. Juan de Miralles from Spain lent money, became friends with Patriot leaders, and convinced Cuba, Spain, and Mexico to send financial aid to the colonies.

Worthless Money Getting money to finance the war was difficult. To pay for the war, Congress and the states printed hundreds of millions of dollars of paper money. Soldiers had to be paid and supplies bought. The paper money was not back with gold or silver and quickly lost its value and in turn led to inflation. Congress stopped issuing paper money because no one would use it.

Life on the Home Front Women often took over the duties of men while the men were in the military. Some women questioned their place in society, and some fought for women’s interests. Molly Pitcher, Abigail Adams, Judith Sargeant Murray (pg )

Treatment of Loyalists The Loyalists in the colonies faced hard times. Those who actively helped the British by spying and informing on the Patriots could be arrested and tried as traitors. Some were victims of mob violence or ignored by their neighbors. Many fled to Britain, to Spanish- owned Florida, or to the frontier.

Slavery During Revolution The issue of slavery was questioned, especially in light of the ideals of freedom for which people went to war. African Americans fought as soldiers in the Revolutionary War. They hoped that they would soon see the day when slavery would be abolished.
