We are going to stay here for the winter of 1777.
Where is the British?
We captured Philadelphia in the fall of 1777 and now we will stay here for some time.
Weather at the battle of Monmouth
It is super hot but we can still win this!
The continental army stayed in Valley Forge.
What happened?
AHHHH
The British area is in Philadelphia
Who won?
We won because we defeated Lee’s force!
British: 1 Americans:1
We won because we occupied the battlefield.
The weather was unbearably at temperatures over 90 degrees. Some soldiers even died because it was so hot and during the battle there was lack of water.
Why is this battle important?
This was longer than we expected
The British rear guard was attacked by the Americans. Then the American groups met Washington’s main force in Freehold, NJ. The British and the Americans fought for a long time.
They fought for a long time but it ended as a draw.
This battle was important because is was one of the longest and biggest battle of the war.
