Today in class we discussed our essays about if we agreed or disagreed whether we were in times men's souls were tried or not. Although some people had good counterexamples, I still stay strong to my opinion. We also saw some of the tactics Washington used during the war, using Christmas to help him attack the British, since they all were "supposed" to take the holiday off from the war. He also took advantage of a storm to escape Long Island to Manhatten, where they were able to escape towards Pennsylvania. I think Washington was smart with how he worked his army, say how a solider who runs away is able to fight another day.
