How did the experiences of the British and Continental armies in the winter of 1777-1778 differ?

4 0

With the onset of the bitter winter cold, the Continental Army under General George Washington, still in the field, enters its winter camp at Valley Forge, 22 miles from British-occupied Philadelphia. Washington chose a site on the west bank of the Schuylkill River that could be effectively defended in the event of a British attack.

During 1777, Patriot forces under General Washington suffered major defeats against the British at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown; Philadelphia, the capital of the United States, fell into British hands. The particularly severe winter of 1777-1778 proved to be a great trial for the American army, and of the 11,000 soldiers stationed at Valley Forge, hundreds died from disease. However, the suffering troops were held together by loyalty to the Patriot cause and to General Washington, who stayed with his men. As the winter stretched on, Prussian military adviser Frederick von Steuben kept the soldiers busy with drills and training in modern military strategy.

When Washington’s army marched out of Valley Forge on June 19, 1778, the men were better disciplined and stronger in spirit than when they had entered. Nine days later, they won a victory against the British under Lord Cornwallis at the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey.

Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor.

Which two units you would use to measure population density?
RideAnS [48]
To calculate the population density, you will divide the population by the size of the area. Thus, Population Density = Number of People/Land Area. The unit of land area should be square miles or square kilometers. You can use square feet or meters if you are finding the density of a smallish space.

How did stereotyping lead to injustice?​
MissTica

Answer:

Harmful stereotypes changes how other people view that certain group of people.

Explanation:

For example, the stereotype that black people are the most violent. This stereotype was created around segregation and was used to keep white people segregated. However, this stereotype never went away and now, in today's society, we see the major backlash it caused. Because of this stereotype, police brutality against Black people is at an all time high. A lot of police claimed to have felt fearful of their life when they kill an innocent Black person. This is because the stereotype that Black people are naturally violent and aggressive is ingrained in their brains, from the police academy of their parents.
