I believe that the colonists struggled on knowing who they really were because they were British their whole life. They always had someone to tell them what to do or somebody who controlled them. And without a leader (like they had) they didn’t know who they were themselves. This is very important because it is now what we call History.
I think that the most important thing during the American Revolutionary War was the battle of Saratoga because it was the first American win. It proved to France that the Americans deserved their supplies. And after the war was finished France finally gaves us their supplies. Also the battles of Yorktown because it was the war that we won for our freedom. And I also think Yorktown was important because we were fighting so that we could get our freedom and fought tell the end because we wanted to win and not be ruled no longer . The writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence was also very important because that is how we got our independence and we got to do things our way and not be ruled and told what to do. In conclusion these were to me the most important stuff because it was our ticket to freedom.
The harsh winter was obviously harsh. The soldiers and George Washington almost starved and some of them eventually died. In George Washingtons letter it said that he needed food asap because they didn’t want to starve. And they wanted supply of stuff that helped them survive even more. In conclusion this was a very tough year but George Washington never gave up even when the british were more trained and they had more experience George kept on fighting.
