How did the continental army come through the terrible winter at Valley Forge with new hope?

Answer 1

The British troops did not suspect anot stack from the patriots.

Answer 2

Patriots from around the nation sent help. Women collected food, medicine, warm clothes, and ammunition for the army. Some women, like Martha Washington, wife of the commander, went to Valley Forge to help the sick and wounded.

Answer 3

They tried to stay alive. It was very cold and awful for them. Little cabins were built but it was hard to stay warm. When Washington attacked Trenton some of his troops didn't have shoes and left bloody prints in the snow. It is amazing they did what they did and stayed with Washington. It just shows his command of the troops.

Answer 4

General Washington and his Continental Army spent the winter of 1777-1778 camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia.

For the first months, the soldiers were living in tents which provided little help from the cold. The soldiers lacked proper clothing -- many without shoes or warm clothes. When soldiers had to go out in the cold, they would share clothing. It wasn't until February, 1778, that the men finished building huts to live in, with fireplaces to keep them warm.

Answer 5

Beron Van Steuban, a french general, sent supplies to the soldiers but not many of them survived.

Answer 6

Starvation, no shelter, freezing to death.
