    In the war for freedom and independence from the tyrannous British, soldiers had to stay at the winter camp of Valley Forge in order to eventually come out as victorious. According to “Estimates of Illness and Deaths at Valley Forge,” soldiers still had a pretty good chance at survival at Winter Forge. Only 50% of soldiers were sick, so if you were to stay as active and healthy as possible, a soldier there should be fine. Also, this document states that about 10% or 1,800 out of 12,000 soldiers died during encampment. This shows that many soldiers had a great chance at survival if they just pushed through the harsh winter. Although the Diary of Dr. Waldo illustrates a horrible picture of Valley Forge, there is still evidence of why it would

    Blonde hair and blue eyes is what I dreamed for when I was a young immature, uneducated Chicana. To fit in with my Anglo friends is something I desired and wanted so bad. While they enjoyed the perks of being teenagers, I stayed in with my grandmother learning to cook, iron, clean and make sure that the men of the house were satisfied and comfortable. Growing up different is all I’ve ever known, being teased and laughed at by my Anglo friends for being an overweight brown little girl is something that I’ve had to live with for a very long time. Having to deal with this my entire life has led me to believe that nothing will ever change. Till this day people treat me like I am different, I am discriminated against because of the color of my skin and many others limit me because of my gender. All I’ve ever wanted is to feel equal and to be treated with respect.
