My Comrades Dbq Analysis
It was 1777. My comrades and I trudged through murky snow and grass on the way to winter camp in Valley Forge, PA. Lots of my fellow men were sick. There was no food and no supplies. General Washington was asking us to reenlist for another 9 months. I was confused. Should I reenlist or not? I reenlisted for another 9 months because my comrades were getting sick, of my loyalty to my government, and my belief in the cause.

I reenlisted because my fellow comrades were getting sick. Even though there weren’t many deaths, a lot of my comrades were getting sick. According to my count, almost half of my comrades were debilitated (Doc A). As a good human being, I stood back and help them out.

I reenlisted because of my loyalty to my government. Even

    Valley Forge

    War is hard, but not a hardship worth quitting for. In December 1777-1778, General George Washington made his winter camp at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The British army under General Howe was only a few miles away in Philadelphia. Washington now has a problem because many of his men have signed up to fight for only nine months. Their terms are now coming to an end. After thinking long and hard I am deciding to reenlist for three main causes, lack of soliders due to illness, loyalty to my country, and belief in winning for pride.…

    Valley Forge Dbq Questions And Answers

    The American Army had seen hard times during the first two years of the Revolutionary War. They had been the victor in two battles—one in Trenton and one in Philadelphia—but other than that, it had not gone very well. (Background Essay) Because of these struggles, Washington had a hard time keeping his soldiers in the army since many signed up for only nine months and then left or simply deserted. This brings up the question: Would you have reenlisted for the army at Valley Forge? I most definitely would not have because of the illnesses, the government neglecting the soldiers, and the bad conditions that existed there.…

    David And Goliath Dbq Analysis

    In 1 Samuel 17, David shows how he has trust in God and he knows that he will win. In the beginning of 1 Samuel 17, no one will fight Goliath, so David steps up and says that he will. His brother told him that he was stupid thinking that he could go and kill Goliath. David told him that by the grace of God he will be able to defeat Goliath. His brother knew that he was right and got him ready to fight Goliath. Once he was ready, he approached the Philistine. Goliath told him that he was small, and that he would kill David easily. David replied, “You come at me with sword and spear and battle-ax. I come at you in the name of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, the God of Israel’s troops, whom you curse and mock.” (1 Samuel 17:45)…

    Confederation Dbq Analysis

    In 1643, there were four New England colonies who formed a confederation and they came up with the Articles of Confederation. In 1697, William Penn brought forth a plan of union which never was implemented. Last but not least in 1754, Benjamin Franklin came up with the Albany Plan of Union. “The history of colonial efforts to cooperate or unite demonstrates that the colonies had no strong or sustainable need for a common government.” All of those plans never went into effect but that doesn't mean that they didn't want to unite. In the following paragraphs I'm going to state why I think this statement is wrong by using documents A, B, and C.…

    Valley Forge Dbq Report

    according to the chart of illnesses and deaths (Doc A), only about 50% of the group has passed away. This means that there is a chance that if I stay, I will not die. Even if I do die, I will die known as the brave Patriot who stayed at Valley Forge throughout all the ups and downs. Here at Valley Forge, we have doctors and medical attention loyal to us. An example would be from the diary of Dr. Albigence Waldo (Doc C). Dr. Waldo is one of the hard working doctors we have, even though he also is going through rough times, he is still helping keep our fellow mates alive. In this diary entry, he wrote that we were still happy. This is a true statement, we always laugh and have fun here at Valley Forge. I know that if I ever left Valley Forge I would feel bad for giving up on our freedom. The nights we were read The American Crisis by Thomas Paine (Doc D) really got me thinking about the “Sunshine soldier and the summer Patriot,” the soldiers who left Valley Forge, the soldiers who betrayed us all, the soldiers who I thought were my friends. “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly,” T-Paine wrote, in my opinion his message for this saying was to stay and fight. As a result, I will stay at Valley Forge, we have a chance of living, medical attention, and I will never feel guilty for betraying my…

    In the department of medicine, Hippocrates dramatically changed the games for the development of medicine (Document 8). It is undeniable and perhaps it is safe to say that all western thoughts that applied philosophy can trace its origin back to the Greek thinkers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle who brought in the Greek rational thinkings. The questions that were once brought in by the great philosophers are still being discussed in multiple courses such as religion and political issues (Document 3,4).…

    Personal Narrative: My Fight For Independence

    Sometimes walking in the snowy path of your friends' bloody feet, will lead you to make a life leading decision. It was the frigid winter of 1777; my fellow soldiers and I had an important decision to make. Our men were suffering; our commander needed us. But was it worth the time and energy? Was it worth dying for? There was only one question that mattered: would I re-enlist at Valley Forge? Would I fight for independence even when it meant possibly losing everything? I wouldn't. I wouldn’t re-enlist because of the harsh conditions we were forced to be under, the rate of death and illness in our men, and the lack of support and supply.…
