Revolutionary War

The Crossing:

• The continental army was down by a lot of soldiers; they were going to run out January 1st. Most soldiers were only enrolled for 6 months. But they had to fight in duty and honor. Also, you need money to send home for the family, but the government didn’t know how to do it.

• The government was afraid if they gave Washington the things to lead a great army, he would leave and turn his back.
