The air is filled with the smell of burning bodies. It is the winter of 1777, and my condition is getting worse as the days pass. Most of the soldiers here don’t rest that much so everyday they look weary. The winter at Valley Forge started on December 19, 1777 in Pennsylvania.

I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons which are smallpox and diseases, bad weather and starvation, and poor medication and treatment. I know that if I don’t re-enlist it could make a huge impact on the soldiers.

The Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947, breaking the color line. The Dodgers, by playing Robinson, announced the end of racial segregation that had relegated black players, to the Negro leagues in the 1880s. At the beginning of Robinson’s career, his will was tested. The racial slurs and chants got to Robinson, but nothing stopped him from playing the game he loved. Robinson’s family received threats and he was asked not to fight back when confronted with racism. During one infamous game, the Philadelphia Phillies shouted derogatory terms at Robinson from their dugout. Many players on opposing teams threatened not to play against the Dodgers, even some of Robinson’s teammates threatened to sit out, but Dodgers manager, Leo Durocher, informed them that he would sooner trade them than Robinson. His loyalty to the player set the tone for the rest of Robinson's career with the team.
