Victory in the American Revolutionary War

⭐After British general Howe defeats George Washington's army, Washington is forced to retreat to a

winter encampment known as Valley Forge where they face a brutal winter. Nearly 3,000 men

die from disease, hunger, and harsh winter conditions.⭐The soldiers that survived

became very well trained by a German officer named Baron Von Steuben and others.

At the end of the winter the Continental Army was now a professional army like the Redcoats.⭐George Rogers Clark led

American forces to victories against the British out in the frontier. These victories

in the wilderness were a contributing factor to the Americans winning the war.⭐The US did not have

a navy so private American ship owners/merchants gave their ships to be used to fight the British navy.
