George Washington and the Continental Army spend the winter at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Conditions are horrible. Many soldiers are sick, clothing is scarce, and men go for days with barely any food. People die, and as morale plummets, other men simply go home. There is talk of mutiny. Slowly, Washington turns things around, but the French-American alliance changes the war and moves it to other theaters:\u00a0 the sea, in Indian Country, and in the South. Navies battle off England and in the Caribbean, while armies advance in Indian Country and the South; the British take Charleston.
