    Valley Forge Dbq Questions And Answers

    One aspect of this is the inadequate clothing the troops had. One fifth of them had no shoes, and going barefoot in the dead of winter would not have been any fun. (Doc. F) All their other clothes were tattered and did not compensate for the cold temperatures in any way. (Doc. C) The quality of the food and the air inside the cabins was lousy as well. The very little food that could be obtained at Valley Forge was undoubtedly contaminated from all the diseases. The sad excuse for a ventilation system inside the soldiers’ cabins was poor and insufficient, and this probably didn’t help the health issues that close to half of the men already had. (Doc. C) Walking away from the American army did mean that I would only lessen the chances that I would get what I joined the military to find. But between the frostbite-inducing lack of proper clothing, shortage of safe-to-eat food, and smoke inhalation, there would have been enough dangers to make me think twice before…

    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…

    Valley Forge Dbq Essay

    George Washington had led the Continental Army through battle after battle, and only won two minor battles. While the British set up comfortable quarters in Philadelphia, George Washington had his men build uniform huts in Valley Forge, a few miles away. Sickness and disease ran rampant, and conditions were torturous. Your family is poor and your mother is ill. Since your nine-month enlistment is up, Washington's men are progressing from hut to hut to find out if soldiers will reenlist or quit. The question asked by this Mini-Q is, ‘Had you been a soldier at Valley Forge, would you have quit?’ I would have quit because the British army had so many advantages and illness was almost unavoidable.…

    Valley Forge Dbq Report

    according to the chart of illnesses and deaths (Doc A), only about 50% of the group has passed away. This means that there is a chance that if I stay, I will not die. Even if I do die, I will die known as the brave Patriot who stayed at Valley Forge throughout all the ups and downs. Here at Valley Forge, we have doctors and medical attention loyal to us. An example would be from the diary of Dr. Albigence Waldo (Doc C). Dr. Waldo is one of the hard working doctors we have, even though he also is going through rough times, he is still helping keep our fellow mates alive. In this diary entry, he wrote that we were still happy. This is a true statement, we always laugh and have fun here at Valley Forge. I know that if I ever left Valley Forge I would feel bad for giving up on our freedom. The nights we were read The American Crisis by Thomas Paine (Doc D) really got me thinking about the “Sunshine soldier and the summer Patriot,” the soldiers who left Valley Forge, the soldiers who betrayed us all, the soldiers who I thought were my friends. “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly,” T-Paine wrote, in my opinion his message for this saying was to stay and fight. As a result, I will stay at Valley Forge, we have a chance of living, medical attention, and I will never feel guilty for betraying my…

    Samuel Clemens' story of "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed" tells a tale among many in which men attempted to fight in the Civil War, but failed to pursue their ultimate "goal" of actually staying in that war. A lot of the militia involved in these stories were mostly indifferent to the reasoning for the war. Most of the men didn't even know why they were fighting this war, or why they were considered members of the Union or the Confederates. There were many uncertainties steming from this war but one thing was for sure, these militia men were scared. "I had got part of it learned, I knew more about retreating than the man that invented retreating" (Clemens 307). A majority of these make-shift soldiers did in fact have experience in the army, but not of that remotely close to the Civil War. When all hell started breaking loose, men were left to choose either the side of the Union, or Confederates, there was no middle ground. Although they did choose their sides, they fought blindly. A lot of these soldiers had never been in fields of battle, or seen any traumatic events caused by wars, so it was no surprise that when encountered with these events, they would flee. Due to the scarcity and suddenness of the Civil War, these confederate soldiers/militia men suffer from a definite fear of war, blind patriotism, and an overwhelming lack of certainty.…

    Valley Forge Turning Point

    No battle was fought at Valley Forge, yet it was the turning point in the Revolutionary War because it gave the army a backbone, made the soldiers stronger for upcoming battles, and helped them win alliance with the French. It was here that the Continental Army was hopelessly drenched. After the battles they had fought, Valley Forge gave them another reason to give up. They arrived bloody, beaten, and war-torn. What would you expect from an army who went through these difficulties and yet, life throws them the winter of Valley Forge. To the point of giving up, the army stood their ground and kept on fighting for their independence. Without the winter at Valley Forge, Britain would still have power over us. Because of the results of Valley…

    Valley Forge

    An alternative reason I am signing up for is to be loyal to my government. Several weeks ago a fine group of fellows called the Committee of Correspondence arrived at Valley Forge. Our first visit together was us in rags and them in fine clothes (Doc B). The army is beginning to grow sick and fatigue, yet they are showing a Spirit of Alacrity and contentment (Doc c). I wasn’t quite sure who the nicely dressed people were but once they began helping us out I knew right away that I will sign up. This is because the Committee makes me feel that the government cares and someone is listening. Also, the fact that the sick are trying to get their knees off their ground for battle shows that I should fight for them at least. For their encouragement and the sake of our country.…
