Question

What challenges did George Washington and his army face during the winter at Valley Forge, and how did it impact the American Revolution? Responses

Answer 1

Valley Forge, 1777-1778

While rain, snow, and cold temperatures afflicted the army, the situation was made far worse by the lack of shelter, blankets, winter coats, and even shoes. It has been estimated that a third of Washington's army at Valley Forge lacked viable footwear.
