People get sick and die at the camp and I appreciate my life so there is a good chance that I can be one of the people that die. At Valley Forge there was multiple reasons for the army's numbers dropping. For example, people who deserted, when men’s contracts come to an end, and death. According to Document A written by varying people, including Noel F. Busch and researchers at the William Clements Library of the University of Michigan I have reasonable estimated to how the Continental Army numbers plummeted. At the camp Valley Forge there was about 12,000 soldiers in December 1777 and then in February 1778 only 8,000 were left.
Valley Forge, Leave it There were no beds just straw on the mud floor. Cold was one problem; smoke was another. I would leave Valley Forge during the winter due to several reasons. Document A states, “Death estimates due to illnesses during encampment December-June: 1,800-2,500.” This shows that many people died during the Winter at Valley Forge.
Therefore, I choose to stay at Valley Forge, for there is a chance for me to not die of sickness because of the medical care, there is also patriotism, and people are willing to fight for our freedom. The documents A and C prove that only 14% died of sickness. there were about 12,000 of us to start with, and only about 1,800- 2500 died from December to June. Therefore, that leaves just about 9,500 of us left. However, with all the people that abandoned the Continental Army leaves us with just about 8,000 of us.
The army fell short of the ideal image the American public had created for it, as it lacked experience and professionalism. However, this would not last forever. The army gained professionalism during their time at Valley Forge, eventually resembling the institution the America public feared. Royster, defines Valley Forge as a, “test of national survival because it had been a test of the army’s survival amid hardships caused in large by fellow revolutionaries” (190). It also marked a turning point in the war, as it was the last time the revolutionaries expected to be united with the same enthusiasm as in 1775.
In the winter, Washington took his troops to Valley Forge, which was 18 miles from Philadelphia. At this time, Valley Forge was a difficult place to live for the Patriots. It was a struggle but if I were a Patriot in Valley Forge fighting for Washington’s Army, I wouldn’t quit. I won’t quit for three big reasons; yes I know there were a lot of sick soldiers but not as much as dying soldiers, another thing is the conditions were horrible, but there were many brave soldiers who stuck with it, and stayed with Washington, lastly I do not want to be a “summer soldier” because freedom is valuable so it is worth fighting for.
The Battle of Britain and the Battle of the Midway The battle of Britain begins in July 10, 1940. As the Battle of the Midway was June 1942. Each battle had leaders throughout, Battle of Britain`s leader was Winston Churchill prime minister, Germany`s leader was Adolf Hitler head chief commander. For the battle of the Midway was Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto commander in chief for the Japanese side, the U.S leader was Chester Nimitz commander-in-Chief, US Pacific Fleet.
Valley Forge: Would You Have Quit? In the winter of 1777 and 1778, George Washington commanded several thousand patriot soldiers to spend the winter at Valley Forge, 18 miles outside of Philadelphia. It was not an easy time for the soldiers. The huts they built were cold and crowded.
The winter of 1777-78 was terribly cold, bitter, and harsh. These conditions made things very difficult for General Washington’s military unit. The unit’s morale and physical strengths were severely tested throughout this challenging and historical time. On December 19, 1777, General George Washington, the Commander of the U.S. Continental Army led the troops to Valley Forge in Pennsylvania for a few different reasons.
Imagine being the leading General of the Continental Army, George Washington. Imagine living in his big, fancy, house at Valley Forge. Now imagine being a soldier living at Valley Forge. No difference, right? Wrong.
Courage being the forefront of their strengths, showed the bravery of the Founding Fathers before the war had even begun by standing strongly behand their thoughts, beliefs and ideas to the point it caused turmoil between them and Britain, even though the outcome of their actions was obscured to them at the time. Courage may have been the front-runner for the founding fathers’ strengths, but their intellectual power reigns supreme as their greatest asset. The ability they had to think openly, freely and critically about topics such as freedom, life and politics becomes the founding fathers most prized possession and Britain’s worst adversary. Without their profound common sense and intellectual power as a strength the colonies would still resided under British rule instead of questioning their actions and becoming

Cavs Woes. Kyrie, a man who may or may not think the Earth is round, all-knowing. Did Kyrie see the collapse coming; the old age, the internal issues, everything that has led to the Cavaliers’ current situation? Kyrie might have just wanted to get out under LeBron’s shadow, be his own man, and embrace a new environment. Or it could very well have been a mix of both reading the tea leaves and wanting independence in a knew environment, but regardless Kyrie got out and is one of the major reasons why the Cleveland Cavaliers are disintegrating.
Intro: John Stuart Mill obtained many intellectual foundations from Aristotle that better informed his own political and philosophical interpretations. Mill goes to great length discussing the nature of liberty within society and the importance of individuality and progression, in On Liberty, taking modern stances on Aristotelian assertions. Aristotle spends ample time describing how to acquire virtue and achieve happiness, focusing on conservative moral appeals within a political realm. Mill and Aristotle share similar perspectives on the importance of diversity and the dangers the tyranny of the majority imposes on society, furthermore they synonymously endeavor to define the best laws for the state. While Mill and Aristotle come to similar conclusions on these subjects,
2.3 A Panoramic View: John Stuart Mill’s Defence of Liberty John Stuart Mill makes a very necessary and significant distinction in the opening lines of his book On Liberty. He spells out legibly the theme of his essay as he indicates: “The subject of this Essay is not the so-called Liberty of the Will, so unfortunately opposed to the misnamed doctrine of Philosophical Necessity; but Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual.” By this statement, we could stipulate explicitly, yet briefly that, J.S. Mill’s theory of liberty has little to do with the so called argument between determinism and free will. Its focus is largely directed towards the political cum ethical mode of coexistence among human beings.
Mill views liberty as a civil and social concept. The purpose of On Liberty is to investigate "the nature and limits of power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual." (Mill,1). Following a summary of the evolution of liberty in recent history, Mill discusses social tyranny, claiming that society 's "means of tyrannising are not restricted to the acts which it may do by the hands of its political functionaries." (Mill,8), meaning that society can tyrannize the people in ways other than political.
