Valley Forge: The Revolutionary War in Four Minutes

Learn about the trials and successes of George Washington and the Continental Army during their time camped at Valley Forge. In December, 1777, General George Washington moved the Continental Army to their winter quarters at Valley Forge. Though Revolutionary forces had secured a pivotal victory at Saratoga in September and October, Washington’s army suffered defeats at Brandywine, Paoli, and Germantown, Pennsylvania. The patriot capital, Philadelphia, fell into British hands. By the time the army marched into Valley Forge on December 19, they were suffering not only from cold, hunger, and fatigue, but from low morale in the wake of the disastrous Philadelphia Campaign.
David Lawrence is a ranger at Valley Forge National Historic Park.

Oh I hope you join SAR. Genealogist grandmothers left me a legacy of 8 soldiers 1signer... but during lockdown I found 8 more ancestors on Rev War rosters. So, a very special 17 of my DNA contributors spilled blood sweat and tears for Liberty I grew up with. Preserve Civic Awareness

“Biggest city in American”. Our native settlement’s were 2-4 times the size 😂

[@Frygonz]

By the time Philadelphia was the biggest city, places like Tenochtitlan and especially Cahokia were sadly long gone.

[@carlivasquez6840]

I think they meant the population. Native Americans were a bit more spread out over their territories. Unless I’m wrong. :)
