Who won the battle at Valley Forge?

There was no battle at Valley Forge. It was the winter camp for Washington's troops and park service historians have proven that the men did not starve, die, nor freeze to death. Washington "spun" his letters to Congress to keep the funding of the troops up. He was afraid that if Congress knew how well they were doing they would cut back on funds for his troops.


What are 2 of the problems in Valley Forge with Washington and his army?

No one was lost at Valley Forge. Federal park historians have proven that the men were well fed, warm, and had clothing. It is a myth that they weren't , but it may have come from letters Washington wrote to Congress. He knew if he told them that the men were doing well and had enough Congress would cut funds, so he spun a story telling them they needed supplies. Martha Washington and other wives also came to the camp and had the conditions been so dire they wouldn't have been there. The two-thirds that did die of the 2000 men died in the Spring months of flu, colds, and dysentery not of hunger or of exposure. Please visit the National park service site for the story of Valley Forge.

What happend at Valley Forge?

Valley Forge was the location of the winter encampment of the American troops. Myth has it that the men were in bad shape, no food, and were cold. The National Park Service has proven that this was not true. The troops got 3 pounds of meats and vegetables a day to eat, were well dressed, and stayed 3-4 to small huts/houses. Washington told Congress they were in bad shape because he knew that if Congress really knew how well off they were they would quit sending money and help. He politically spun the story to make sure his troops were taken care of. He was very much a politician.
