Hello! Firstly, let's consider what actually happened. To start, was he ever offered French assistance?
i honestly dont know anything about history because i dont have my history textbook at the moment and i cant figure anything out online
Then I'll summarize it this way. Washington was a plantation owner until 1776. He had never been in a war or battle until that point. Also, when the war did start, nobody wanted to risk helping the new "rebels", considering their slim chances of success. Next, honestly, I don't know much about Valley Forge specifically, but that doesn't matter here. Let's just look at the last possible statement. Historically, the Continental army was really unsuccessful. They lost almost every major battle until the battles at Trenton and Princeton. So, knowing this, which statement is true?
B?
Yep! Correct. In fact, he frequently doubted his ability as a military leader because of this.
