In December 1777 on the week before Christmas. A decent army, 18 miles out of Philadelphia, is suffering by freezing to death with the lack of warm clothing and ill from smallpox. The soldiers have frostbite and get their legs amputated (Jane Root). Some soldiers are deciding on quitting and leaving this camp called Valley Forge. Soldiers ask me, “ are you going to quit and leave Valley Forge?” and I respond, “I would never quit.” Why would I quit when this dying army obviously needs my help? I’d stay for these very reasons. Never would I be a coward, I’d fight for my freedom, and the army totally needs more healthy men.
I would stay because if I quit I would be nothing but a worthless coward. That is something no one wants to be taunted
