Battle of Valley Forege

The Battle of Valley Forge was not a real Battle. Because it was a suprises attack on England. To make them surender.

In 1776,when the revolution was starting.George Washington took command in the battle.The battle was taking place at Massachusetts Bay colonies.Though no battle was fought here from December 19, 1777 to June 19, 1778. Yet, it was the turning point of the Revolutionary War.

It was here that the Continental Army was against the bloody, beaten, battle and ready to fight. Even General Washington said, "If the army does not get help soon, in all like hood it will disband."

The story of the six month encampment of the Continental Army of the newly formed United States of America under the command of General George Washington, a few miles from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

At Valley Forge, we learn about images of bloody footprints, but the concept of suffering for freedom isn't easily to understood. Long marcheshad destroyed the men's shoes. Blankets were warn and had holes. At one point, these shortages caused nearly 4,000 men to be listed as "unfit for duty."

Raw weather and empty stomachs were common. Cries of "beef" echoed throughout the camp. The future promised only more hope and things they needed.
