The maintenance of a high moral in any army is a critical factor for its performance. At the moment that Washington selected Valley Forge as the location for his army's winter camp; his army was not equally trained and not well equipped as the British were. So selecting that location made easier for Washington's army to keep a good supply source, a shelter for extreme winter conditions and also a close location from British lines in order to make and prevent incursions.
Me please with these questions
It's the fallacy of stating or thinking that if 'B' came <em>after</em> 'A', then 'A' <em>must have</em> <em>caused</em> 'B'.
Here's a ridiculous example:
Every day at 4:00 in the morning, I rub this gold ring that I always carry
in my pocket, and every day, within two or three hours, the sun rises.
This has been happening regularly, for almost five years now, so I know
that I can totally rely on it..
I'm getting ready to write to my Congressman and tell him that if he does not
send me five million dollars within a week, I will not rub the ring for a week, and
that will cause havoc with farming, transportation, and weather, since the sun
will not rise for a week.
