Valley Forge is the place where Washington's army almost froze to death. A lot of the soldiers that had been wounded in previous battles actually did die from the freezing temperatures. At least 2,000 additional soldiers died at Valley Forge from diseases.

They didn't. This is part of the myth of Valley Forge. According to the federal park service Washington and his troops were well equiped and well fed. Every man had 30 pounds of meat and vegtables a day to eat and they had warm clothing, shelter, and shoes.

Washington and his army nearly froze to death in the winter of 1777-1778 in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The troops had been spending the winter there but there was not enough food or shelter. Over 25% of the army died due to these shortages.

There was no battle at Valley Forge. It was the winter camp for Washington's troops and park service historians have proven that the men did not starve, die, nor freeze to death. Washington "spun" his letters to Congress to keep the funding of the troops up. He was afraid that if Congress knew how well they were doing they would cut back on funds for his troops.
