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. Also, if this many people died from illnesses than it is likely that I will die from the illness. In Document B it shows George Washington attempting to get us proper food, water, and resources we need to last the winter. This shows that the Congressional Congress will not support us throughout the winter. Even though George Washington stood up for us we still didn’t give us the resources we wanted.
