The stench of sweat, vomit, feces, and blood was almost to much to bear. Although times were difficult at Valley Forge, I would have stayed as a soldier because I believed George Washington was a amazing leader, most of the fellow soldiers didn't lose their spirit, and I would be willing to die for freedom. To begin, I would have stayed because George Washington was on our side and he is a natural born leader. In Document B it showed George Washington taking his soldiers side, which means that he was helping them; he wasn't just doing what Congress told him to do.

Men stop and set up camp to get past the storm but sadly Men start dying from illness and weather. Some troops wanted to leave and other wanted to stay and fight.

These are tragic deaths but if you do the math you only have a ten percent of dyeing, and 90 percent of living.

There are many different actions and responses which lead up to the Revolutionary War. But a few of the largest actions on the part of Britain were the Acts which were imposed on the colonists. The first attempt to tax the colonists was the Stamp Act, and was a colossal failure.

They tried again in 1773, with largely the same results. The colonists refused to support Britain and adamantly opposed the taxation of any and all goods by the crown. This was made worse by the struggling farmers and merchants who's businesses had been crippled by the taxes

I think the British are the ones that first fired in Lexington Green, it came from the road and the meeting house. According to the map, it shows that the British came from Boston to Concord, but they first passed to the Green before they reached in Concord. Most of the sources were not sure of who exactly fired first. John Parker was the official deposition of commander of the colonial militia; when the British came towards them, he ordered to spread but not to fire, the British fired upon and killed eight of the militia without receiving any provocation. I believe the British fired the first shot on Lexington Green because they were defending themselves, violence and vengeance, and also my sources testify and declare.

The Wow Signal, The Mary Celeste, and the Marfa lights, all historical mysteries that have attracted the attention of not only historians, but of the average person as well. To attempt to solve these mysteries one must look at all available evidence, and Roanoke, being one of these mysteries is no different. Roanoke had very crude perceptions of its surrounding due to the naïve, and ignorant natures of their colonists; it became more and more difficult to survive there, and after relationships with natives went sour, the place became inhospitable. However, what truly happened there is a mystery, and what happened to the colonists, but it is a mystery that will never be solved.
