The American Revolution
The Underdog:
I am home, staying safe and I am so nervous for my husband. I know he can do it, but I am so scared for his army. His army only has 20,000 troops and the British had over 30,000 mercenaries. I was worried sick. Elizabeth cared so hard for the sick, and dead and sometimes served in combat. I knew George was nervous, he didn't have a standing army and the British did.

While Elizabeth was fighting at Saratoga and George was leading, I was waiting for the results. They have won the Battle of Saratoga! It was a turning point for George, Elizabeth, and the war because the underdogs have tied up the war, it convinced potential foreign partners, and it renewed the morale of the American public. I am so glad that my husband was a great leader to us, and that he was so good, we were able to tie up the war with fewer people. I, Elizabeth, am so relieved that I participated in this war, and was able to help so that we could tie up the
