DBQ Essay: Valley Forge By Carlos Reynoso
Valley Forge Essay~ by Carlos Reynoso If I had a chance to quit the war I would, because of of how everything was. The condition of the war was bad. People were getting disease and getting sick and dying. people were starving to death, didn’t have clothing, places to sleep, barely had any weapons, and didn't have that much gun powder, also the British had more money and more supplies than the the Americans did.
Here is some prove of the the stuff i’m talking about.
The American army had a total of 14 shillings to get money, and the British had a total of 27 shillings to get money(prices offered Uncle Levi).Obviously the British had more shillings to sell, which means that the Americans won’t have as much of supplies as the British would. This is during the winter so you will need a lot of supplies to stay alive. I don't like how the American soldiers have less supplies than the British, just don't make sense to me why they don't figure out a way to have more than them, yeah the British have an advantage but that doesn't mean they can't try to have more than or be better than them. …show more content…
