Identity Crisis
I believe that one of the reasons that they felt at aloss with how to identify themselves is because the loyalists that were in the colonies at the time when the war was won, didn’t know if they should feel as a patriot or a loyalist because they disagreed with being called a nation. Another reason might be because the loyalists didn’t know if they should become patriots, or stay as loyalists even though they might be treated differently or given what we call; the cold shoulder or treated in a unfriendly manner. The loyalists also might feel un-indentified because the war was won by the patriots and the colonists, they might feel ashamed to be a loyalist and want to be a patriot even though they believe that what the British were doing was OK. I conclude that any one of the sides (patriots or loyalist) might feel un-identified and feel a since of injustice. There are many other reasons why someone might be in a Identity Crisis.

Treaty of Paris
I believe that the Treaty of Paris was one of the most important parts of the American Revolution. I believe this because it was when we decided to end the Revolutionary War and become our own country. This was a time of rejoice for the colonists and the soldiers that were still alive. The Treaty of Paris stated that we are our own country and that the British would no longer take control over us. The Traety of Paris was also very important because in finalized everything that the colonies were waiting for: FREEDOM!
Diary Entry: Albigence Waldo — What does this tell us about the harsh winter at Valley Forge?
The Diary entry of Albigence Waldo talked about how he was getting sick, he was misserable, cold, not getting enough sleep, bad food, not enough food etc. It also talked about how he misses his wife, children, good beds, good cookery etc. This letter tells us many things. One of those things is that many of the soldiers got very sick and that many of them probably did and could’ve died from lack of starvation. Many of the soldiers were very cold and could not get enough warmth. It also tells us that this soldier was very brave, he stated that he would “go with the flow”. Even if some of it is life theatinning. Albigence Waldo was a very brave and strong man. I conclude that camping at Valley Forge was very misserable and most of the soldiers got sick. This was a very harsh time for the American’s.
