Winter At Valley Forge

The British had occupied New York City, but they had also captured Philadelphia, in 1777. They could just snuggle up, and relax in both places during winter, but George Washington would be living right in between both places - in Valley Forge. The British were just living their lives in their places, but George and his men were living tragedy. There were cold storms, the weather was extremely freezing, and there was almost no food supply. The Congress was to busy worrying about their own needs then providing for the nation, that was a war, that lye ahead of them. One of the many women that were trying to help the Continental Army survive was Martha Washington. She and other women knitted for the Army to try to keep warm, but that was not enough for them.

The Battle of Yorktown

It was September 28, 1781. The outcome of the American Revolution would start. The Continental army was ready to ght, because of their past victories. They were even more excited because this battle would be easier with new weapons, supplies, and troops. They had teamed up with the French Forces to defeat the British. General Cornwallis was not happy about this, he was forfeiting himself because the British were outnumbered, but that would not stop the Continental Army from ghting. The American Continental Army and The French Forces went to close in by land while another man went to the harbor to make sure that there were no British troop men coming to reinforce them.

In 1782, John Jay, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were sent by Congress to go to Paris, and get a peace treaty with Great Britain, that would negotiate American Independence. They were to consult the French King, and his Ministers. But the French were not really looking out for Americas intrest, they wanted to use the Americans as pawns in their game of power against Great Britain. But they used their great minds to push away the attacking of the French, so on September 3rd, 1782, these three men signed The Treaty of Paris. It stated that The United States would own every part of the land, from the Great Lakes to Florida, and that all of the British troops could return to Britain, that were still in America. All of the debt that was not paid would have to be paid by The Americans, and all of the Loyalists that had left America could return to America, but the ones that were still in America would have to be persecuted. Now they could go home and start to build a new nation.
