During the winter of 1777-1778, the Continental Army (consisting of about 11,000 men), with General George Washington, resided at the headquarters of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The American soldiers suffered from a lack of resources and housing throughout these months. The army made huts for shelter from the cold season, but with the deprivation of blankets and food, more than 3,000 men passed away. On the other hand, the British army, with the help of the Loyalists, received a healthy diet, warm housing, and engaged in many social activities. Valley Forge was the most disheartening time in the Revolutionary War for the Patriots, but with the help of the French and a hopeful spirit, they emerged stronger than before.

James McPherson does a great job of explaining both sides equally. Gerald Linderman and Reid Mitchell explained that soldiers at that time were not concerned with why they were fighting and only fought for their
