Learning Objective: Analyze how the Americans gained Allies..

Gaining Allies Victory at Saratoga a turning point; US proved they might win Bitter over defeat in French and Indian War France declared war on Great Britain in Feb, 1778 Sends supplies, troops, and funds

Why and how did Spain help the US? Declared war on Great Britain in 1778; do not form alliance with America Helped in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida Keeps British troops from fighting the Americans

Describe the importance of help from France and Spain Forced British to fight a number of enemies on land and sea British had to spread military resources over many fronts Prevented British from concentrating their strength to defeat the inexperienced Americans

Valley Forge Conditions were harsh Lacked decent food, clothing, shelter, and medicine– soldiers grow weak Nearly ¼ die from malnutrition, exposure to the cold, or diseases Men deserted (left without permission); officers quit

Help from Congress was slow Some help came from private citizens

Help on the Battlefield Using page 155, create a chart showing how individuals from other nations helped the Continental Army Marquis de Lafayette Thaddeus Kosciusko Casimir Pulaski Friedrich von Steuben Juan de Miralles

Summary Prior to the victory at Saratoga, France had secretly been helping the Americans. Why might the French have kept secret the monetary support of the American Revolution? How did Spain and France take different approaches to aiding the Patriots? Activity suggestions: illustrate how France or Spain helped the Patriots, illustrate the conditions at Valley Forge, illustrate how a specific individual helped the Continental Army
