The At Valley Forge speech was about
giving tribute to those who fought at Valley Forge. This was the turning point and realization that the country was growing and changing. It would be important for 8th graders to listen to the speech because it tells the speech in a different meaning then when you read it yourself. The importance of Valley Forge is that the American army became stronger and better due to Washington staying with his men on those cold nights by earning respect for his army. The Battle of Saratoga was known for the turning point of the American Revolutionary War. The success at Saratoga gave France the confidence in American to enter the war as an American ally. Life in the colonial American seemed very violent at most times. Throughout the pictures I saw that the Pilgrims were greeted by a Native American man and that the Americans were being friendly. The
settlers were shown entering New England
and also there were many conflicts that ended in madness. Activity Four Activity Five
