    The American Army had seen hard times during the first two years of the Revolutionary War. They had been the victor in two battles—one in Trenton and one in Philadelphia—but other than that, it had not gone very well. (Background Essay) Because of these struggles, Washington had a hard time keeping his soldiers in the army since many signed up for only nine months and then left or simply deserted. This brings up the question: Would you have reenlisted for the army at Valley Forge? I most definitely would not have because of the illnesses, the government neglecting the soldiers, and the bad conditions that existed there.…

    Valley Of Forge Dbq Questions And Answers

    There have been many illnesses and deaths at the camp of Valley of Forge. Soldiers are deciding whether they should stay or leave the camp, but if it were my choice, I would leave. For example in The Diary of Dr. Waldo “Doc C” he states that the soldiers are suffering from starvation and they are feeding off of just water and flour. Also, in their huts there is no ventilation and they have to breathe smoke most of the time. In Dr. Waldo’s point of view, they have been sent there to freeze and starve. To add on, in the Estimate of Illness and Death “Doc A” there has been an illness going around and it has been killing people. Almost 50% of the soldiers had died out of 8,000 people. High risk of death is one of the main reasons I would want to…

    Summary: Life In The Continental Army

    After being defeated in several battles George Washington led his army of eleven thousand soldiers to Valley Forge. “As the men marched to this retreat their route could be traced in the snow by the blood that had oozed fron broken shoes” (usahistory.com) Soldiers demoralized with no food, water, clothes or shelter arrive at Valley Forge and for two weeks spend their time building huts in which to spend the winter. Many med did not have blankets and were to spend the night by the fire to keep them from freezing. “Thus that long and dreary winter was spent by the patriots who won for us the independence of America, and the fewness of the desertions of that trying hour attest the depths of their patriotism” wrote Lafayette years later…

    George Washington had led the Continental Army through battle after battle, and only won two minor battles.

    What Would You Do If You Want To Die In Valley Forge?

In document A about 3989 out of 8000 people were sick in Valley Forge. About half of the soldiers were sick, so about 50% of Washington’s army in Valley Forge were sick. In document A all of the soldiers, all 12000 soldiers, half of them were sick but only about 1800 died from sickness.

    1850 Dbq Analysis

    The 1850’s were one of a chaotic time in American history. The North and the South were fighting over the slavery issues such as its legality, and the south’s economic dependency on it. The North viewed slavery as immoral and unconstitutional, but the South wanted slavery to stay because it was the South’s right to do so. Africans were long viewed by other people as the lowest beings, as property; therefore, in their favor the constitution justified slavery, William Lloyd Garrison even went as far as burning the constitution because it was a ‘pro’-slavery document. The North and the South were divided but they could not let go of each other’s throats. They attempted to compromise to prevent larger conflicts, but unfortunately, there were various…

    Valley Forge

    Due to the number of sickness and death in the camp I realize that I need to keep fighting. It is February 1, 1778 and about one-half of Washington’s army are sick (Doc A) During the winter, between 1800 and 2500 have died as a result of illness. (Doc A). Many soldiers also have ripped clothing and no shoes. (Doc 3). I could have reconsidered as to being part of the army because my parents need a lot of help on the burden for the farm and to say the truth the numbers of death are sky high. Also the conditions for the army seem to worsen year by year. Yet I chose to reenlist because helping my team can help me.…
