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.
In December, 1777, General George Washington moved the Continental Army to their winter quarters at Valley Forge. ... By the time the army marched into Valley Forge on December 19, they were suffering not only from cold, hunger, and fatigue, but from low morale in the wake of the disastrous Philadelphia Campaign.

Answer:
paralyzed and time in office
Explanation:
1) FDR was paralyzed from the waist down and couldn't walk. He used a wheelchair. I would recommend looking this up to find some personal reasons as to why this is interesting. I however find it interesting because we still aren't quite sure if the cause of his paralysis was polio or Guillen-barre's syndrome.
2) FDR was the only president to serve for 4 terms. Again I recommend looking this up to find something you find interesting. I however just think it is interesting because during the time he was president (the Great Depression and beginning of WW2) the United States was pretty unstable, which shows the trust that the people had in their president at the time.
Sectionalism was very much a part of the Missouri Compromise, with two main sections of the country -- North vs. South -- divided over the issue of slavery.
The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added at the same time as a free state, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal. The Missouri Compromise also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.
A couple decades later, that sectional debate was sparked still further by the acquisition of lands from Mexico after the Mexican-American War. The Mexican Cession was the large region of land that Mexico ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. It included territory that would later become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming. The Mexican Cession reignited tension on the issue of slave-holding states vs. free states. Since the Missouri Compromise had specified only the Louisiana Purchase lands with its 36 1/2 degrees latitude dividing line, new debate arose over whether territories in the Mexican Cession territory would be slave or free states.
