BATTLE FOR AMERICA

NEED FOR ALLIES America stood little chance of defeating Britain outright  Focus was on outlasting Britain Ben Franklin was busy in Europe recruiting support Saratoga caused the French to join into an alliance with America  Thought maybe the Americans could win

VALLEY FORGE Washington and his men were camped for the winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania Conditions for soldiers was very poor  Cold winter- little winter clothing  Little food and supplies  Many die or suffer Many soldiers began to wonder was it all worth it

ACCOUNT FROM VALLEY FORGE I am Sick - discontented - and out of humour. Poor food - hard lodging - Cold Weather - fatigue - Nasty Cloaths - nasty Cookery - Vomit half my time - smoak'd out my senses - the Devil's in't - I can't Endure it - Why are we sent here to starve and Freeze - What sweet Felicities have I left at home; A charming Wife - pretty Children - Good Beds - good food - good Cookery - all agreeable - all harmonious. Here all Confusion - smoke and Cold - hunger and filthiness - A pox on my bad luck. There comes a bowl of beef soup - full of burnt leaves and dirt, sickish enough to make a hog spue - away with it Boys How would conditions like these impact morale of soldiers? Why would soldiers endure such conditions? What benefit may come from having the army in one place for so long?

ASSISTANCE FROM ABROAD Europeans came to help Washington at Valley Forge Marques de Lafayette- Frenchman who believed in the American cause, aided Washington Friedrich von Steuben- German soldier who helped train Washington’s soldiers

FIGHTING THE WAR Washington was not the only leader fighting the British West of the Appalachian Mountains  George Rogers Clark- led war in west against Britain and weakened British control in the west At sea  John Paul Jones took the fight to Britain by breaking the British blockade and attacking ships off the coast of Britain. Guerilla Warfare  Francis Marion (the Swamp Fox) ambushed British patrols in the South and then disappeared into the swamps

REFLECTION What role did Valley Forge play in the American Revolution? Discuss both the bad and the good.
