There is no shelter for his men at Valley Forge, His army is naked and starving to death as “old man Discouragement “comes to sow his seeds of defeat. It looks Like total defeat and it appears that the new nation the United States of America will annihilated by the Bitter winter and the British army. YOU TALK ABOUT DISCOURAGEMENT!!

They win major victory at Saratoga then on to Yorktown
