letter to home/valley forge

Dear Patrick,
This war is getting so long and ridiculous. I miss home. We have been on the run since August at Brooklyn Heights, New York and now it is winter time in Valley Forge. The camp life here is awful, we are all starving and we are drinking other peoples sewage. We sleep in very close quarters every night it is so uncomfortable. This compared to home is worse then hell! No women around here, which is probably a good thing because we are all dirty and disgusting. The weather sucks too, it is 20 degrees over here, so much colder then home in Georgia. All of our boots are worn and torn some of us are walking on nothing but rags and some nothing at all.
All of the stuff i just mentioned is enough to make me want to just say the hell with the war. I wish we could do that, but we actually have a fighting chance to win this thing. So as much as I'd like to just be done with it, we all want our freedom more. At the end of this the whole thing it will all be worth it. We have won the battle of Trenton and all of the others have basically been losses. It is so tough to actually march and go someplace, when we march we leave behind blood trails from our sore sore feet.
I actually want to keep going and I think that we need to, for our country and for our people. We can win. We are not going to give up, so if anything else then we will make the British tired and they might just give in. We will bleed them dry from money to supplies. As soon as this winter gets over and we can all get better and close to full strength then we will be tough again. Soon we will all be free from that fat King of England. I just hope it's soon because we are losing people all the time from sickness. Well I just thought I would right to you and let you know that I'm still alive and fighting for your sorry but.


p.s. tell everyone I say hi and that I miss them and I'm doing okay.

Miss you,
Ken Golgalonagan

Essay # 2 propaganda test

I believe that the colonists have the right to rebel against Britain. The British have been over in the colonies and they have outstayed their welcome. They have been here trying to control us and all that is happening is death.

They killed at the Boston Massacre, the Killed at Buncard Hill on Breeds Hill, they killed at Lexington and Concord, it has got to stop. We have the rights to control our own lives and will not be controlled by Britain any more. We have the right to freedom. They cannot and will not any more make decisions for us the colonies. We're to big and strong now, we shall fight for our freedom. They tried to tax our stamps and our tea and make us drink their tea.

We took two men for every one of ours, we are strong enough to rebel against them. No longer do we have to live under the Kings command we can fight them an we will win. After we are on our own then we will be the greatest country and the most powerful, Britain is holding us back.
