They did this to show unity and show they were on the same level as all the other citizens of the United States, this was important because it differentiated them from the monarchy they had escaped from where the King was superior in the eyes of the law and the culture to everyone else.
Hope this helps
PS You cute let me get that snap? :)
Where is the picture even at??
The treaty blamed Germany for war, and stripped the nation of it's territories while at the same time making it pay exorbitant reparations, causing a deep resentment towards the countries who put together the treaty.
Answer:
Dear Family,
The days here in Valley Forge are getting harder by the minute, we are running out of food, the weather is painfully freezing, we have an extremely limited supply of medicine. I don't know how much longer we are going to be able to make it. The only person keeping me sane right now is General Washington, he is so very loyal to his men. During the day most of us are huddling together in our very enclosed tents and/or log cabins. We usually try to eat about three meals a day but with the cold weather and other soldiers not being rational, we sometimes go days without eating. I can feel my stomach slowly eating away at itself. When we do eat, its usually pork, bread, cornmeal and if we're lucky, rum and/or whiskey. The cold weather and lack of positivity makes me feel depressed but the stress of war drowns it out. I do truly miss home, I would give anything to be back with my family. Hopefully I will see you all soon.
