Continental+Army

The Continental Army had very little money, they can't bearly aford anything, and the Continental Army had very bad soldiers. The solder were poor (very poor). They only have a few solders. The continental Congress haired eight company to work for them. There job is to hire more solders for the army. So the army could grow more powerful as ever. In each company there is 120 men working in each company. These companies people were made up entirely of cripples, invalids, blind men, and men missing arms and legs. Bad people ,huh? pretty usless, huh? It seems like they were succesful don't you think? The Continental Army was fighting for there own land and freedom. Thay had a great leader. His name is George Washington. He became the leader in 1766. Most people in the army heard of him but they didnt really think that he is great leader until they find out that is.



The Continental Army got their supplies form stealing from the British because the continental army had little money. Well they should'nt steal we know stealing is bad. Is there Choice they dont have to. Is not like we can do anything about it. They sometime combian there money and buy some supplies but mostly they steal. On June, 1780, the general officers in the Continental Army made the army to wear blue coats with yellow buttons, lined and faced in buff with yellow buttons. Finally the uniforms camed out. The coats worn by Army soldiers played a part in flag design. In May 1779 the Board of War passed a plan on uniform design, in which all soldiers would wear blue coats. However, the facing colors would be different, as follows:
 * The White facings are New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.
 * The Buff facings are New York and New Jersey.
 * The Red facings are Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
 * The Blue facings are North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. But they have white buttons on the coats.

They had diffrent facing and coats because they dont want to be confuss which people is on which sides.

The leader of the Continental Army is George Washington.On one Christmas night 1776, George Washington and and the Continental army was going to crossing of the Delaware River. George Washington and his troops were nine miles from Trenton on the banks of the dangrous Delaware River. The solders was on ships while crossing the Delaware river. Washington hoped, he would save his position as general and invigorate his troops. His soldiers were beyond weary. To get this victory Washington must crossed the Delaware River, and surprised the Hessian commander who was drunk. They have to cross the Delaware River to go to Trenton at NJ. George Washington and the army defeted the Hessians. This vitory become one famous victories to Washington.



The Continental Army stayed at Valley Forge during the winter of 1777-1778. The winter began very very cold. Some of the men had no clothes or shoes to wear. And, there was hardly any food because it was snowing and cold weather so plant cant grow animals move somewhere warm. Pretty bad conditions for most of the solders, and even for George Washington. They did not have tents or proper winter clothing for most of them, the weather had turned bitterly cold and they were losing battle after battle, they should be prepared for themselves if they want to servive. Some people got sick while travaling in the cold winter. George washington was going to be replaced by someone, and the army would have a new leader. But the Continent Army didnt wan that to happen. What happen if the leader get replaced? who know. Today people say George Washington is awsome people think hes a good leader. Maybe the army think so aswell. Will do you know what is like there? Will let me tell you. Its a bad place to be for children maybe even adults. It very cold. How cold water frezzed plant died because of the freezing freezing sonw. People could die if you dont be prepared or dont wear proper cloth. It very hard to live there. Think how did the continental army get food and servive. Its very hard.
