Valley Forge Dbq Analysis

Everywhere I go, I see dead soldiers littered all over the ground like blocks of ice. As a soldier in the Continental army, General George Washington has led us to set up a winter camp at Valley Forge, eighteen miles northwest of Philadelphia, where the British army had set up camp. I have made a decision that answers the question that haunts me: Will I quit or will I re - enlist? I have decided I will quit next month, when my nine month enlistment is over. To quit in this situation is to go home after serving as a soldier in Valley Forge and the vast number of deaths and illnesses.

A major effect of the global flow of silver is the economic dependency required.In Document 5, Xu Dunqui Ming purposefully explains the growing of heavy silver use in his city’s economics in 1610, leading to silver becoming the required and standard payment for cloth dying and other services, along with silver now a necesity in their lives.Wth this new standard payment of silver in China, where it is unaccessible in their own environment, they depend on Europe and Spain to in exhange for China’s goods pay in silver to make it readily available for China’s inhabitants. In

In the year of 1777 and 1778, the Continental Army stayed at Valley Forge (Washington’s Winter Camp). Valley Forge was only 18 miles from Philadelphia, and was a difficult place to live since it was during the winter. Some soldiers stayed at Valley Forge. While others were tired of staying at the camp and started to quit. If you were a soldier, would you have quit Washington’s Winter Camp? If I was a soldier, I would not quit because there was not a lot of dying people, Washington is getting help from the Committee, and valuable things like freedom is worth fighting for so I don’t want to be a “ summer soldier.”

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 sky is bleak and the earth is frozen and bare. The only nearby remnant of life situates in the winter camp at Valley Forge. Men drags their feet lethargically on the deep snow while their tattered clothing blow in the howling wind. “A general cry [through] the Camp…. Among the Soldiers, ‘No Meat! No Meat!’- the Distant vales [echoed] back the melancholy sound - ‘No Meat! No Meat!”’(Document C). These are the dreadful living conditions the Continental Army faces during the winter of 1777. To exacerbate the situation, some members of Congress do not trust George Washington, the leader of the army. He has difficulties keeping soldiers in his army and is unable to stop the General Howe from taking over the national capital of Philadelphia,

The 1790s and 1800s was a time surrounded by partisan tension and increased political participation and discussion in America. This was largely due to development of the Federalist and Republican parties in the 1790s. The establishment of these parties helped fuel expansion of the public sphere, as advocates of both sides wish to air their opinions on the other. This became especially true of Republicans, who became increasingly more critical of Federalists ideas and values. Eventually this led to the Federalist party, under the power of John Adams, to pass the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. These pieces of legislation not only censored American citizens, but made the lives of immigrants harder by threatening dissenters with deportation and

Why would you fight the war for texas? The Kansas-Nebraska act replaced the Missouri compromise in 1854 after congress repealed the Missouri Compromise. The Repeal led to a mini war because the north Was not okay with the repeal. Why did Texans fight the civil war? Texans fought for the civil war, because they wanted to protect slavery, their love for Texas, and protect states rights.

Soldiers walk through the snow, nearly barefoot, leaving bloody footprints behind. This is a picture of the camp at Valley Forge. It was the week before Christmas, 1777, and George Washington’s soldiers were miserable. The bleak winter provided many problems for the soldiers. Outside, it was bitterly cold, but inside the huts that served as shelter, poor ventilation systems led to smoke nearly choking people. In this situation, would you have quit the army, left and no longer participated in the fight for freedom, or would you have stuck it out? I have decided to not re-enlist for two reasons which are the severe lack of resources, and the miserable conditions and spirits of the soldiers.

On December 19, 1777, George Washington and his troops, a.k.a the Colonists, arrived at Valley Forge. Not knowing in the later future or when the Winter came, all disaster broke loose. Everyone started to die from the harsh weather and the disease that was spreading across the camp, but they still kept their head up and had a lot of optimism during the bad times that they were going through. For example, in The American Crisis by Thomas Paine (Doc D), he says, ”These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, will shrink from their service of their country; but he that stands now, deserves love and thanks from man and woman.” This could mean that the soldiers that are the ¨sunshine

No Meat, no shoes, no men, out of supplies, you want me to come back? War is on pause, but will soon resume. it is winter of 1777, and is snowing and freezing. Many men are down a couple of toes. Valley Forge is not a happy place. Would I quit? Would I re-enlist? i have decided to quit because of how much sickness and death there is, it also freezing. if i came back war would have to be going on. i do not want to crammed in a little hut.

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.

“You always have two choices: your commitment versus your fear.” - Sammy Davis Jr. During the first two years of the American Revolution, things were not looking up for the Continental Army commanded by none other than George Washington. During the war, General Washington was having a rough time keeping the soldiers to stay and fight. So, he set up camp at Valley Forge. His men made huts to live in with fireplaces and one door. They made their camp close enough to the British to keep them under surveillance. Not realizing that all the events that the Americas had done, such as the Boston Tea Party in 1773, would start a war with the British Empire. I have decided to not re-enlist for the three reasons which are: the clothing in this weather is terrible, the sickness is hard to survive through, and the conditions at Valley Forge are terrible.

Valley Forge were hard times for the Continental Army. From the winter of 1777 to 1778, soldiers camped 18 miles outside of Philadelphia. Everyone was faced with the question “Would you have quit?” or in other words “Would you leave the Continental Army during these hard times?” For me, I have decided to not re-enlist for three reasons: the weather, disease, and I know that other soldiers would stay and fight.

Walking away with only one foot ,deserting because you don’t want to stay and fight. In 1777 through 1778 the Continental Army stayed at Valley Forge due to the Revolution against the British. George Washington was the leader of the Continental Army ,so he was the one that decided the Army would stay at Valley Forge taking the pros into consider. Staying at Valley Forge was hard for the Continental Army because they had to sleep on mud and sticks surrounded by twelve men including themselves which lead many soldiers to desert. Now if I were there I would stay at Valley Forge. Many of the soldiers quit which meant they didn’t reenlist. The reasons I would stay is because there was a high chance of survival, we got supplies that were necessary, and I want to admire what I worked for.

Valley Forge is located in the district of Montgomery County in Pennsylvania. In 1777, George Washington was running an army that was not so successful. Men that were in the army kept enlisting for the shortest amount of time of nine months and not coming back. I would have re-enlisted into Washington’s army. According to document A, about 4,000 men in Valley Forge had contracted an illness out of the 8,000 men that were there. That was 50% of the men getting sick while 25% had died during the encampment. With this estimate, I would still re-enlist because not everyone who got sick had died from illness. In addition, Document C states that “The Army which has been surprisingly healthy hitherto,
