Chapter 7, Section 2 The War Expands Wbk. p. 23/p. 184
In 1776 Franklin signed the Declaration, and afterward sailed to France as an ambassador to the Court of Louis XVI. The French loved Franklin. He was the man who had tamed lightning, the humble American who dressed like a backwoodsman but was a match for any wit in the world. He spoke French, though stutteringly. He was a favorite of the ladies. Several years earlier his wife Deborah had died, and Benjamin was now a notorious flirt.
In 1777, Lafayette purchased a ship, and with a crew of adventurers set sail for America to fight in the revolution against the British. Lafayette joined the ranks as a major general and was assigned to the staff of George Washington. He served with distinction, leading America forces to several victories.

2. Baron von Steuben
A young French nobleman who commanded an army division, fought in many battles, and persuaded the French King to send troops.
A German who trained Washington’s inexperienced army into a skilled fighting force.
No battle was fought at Valley Forge. Yet, it was an important point of the Revolutionary War. It was here that the Continental army was desperately against the ropes — bloody, beaten, battle-weary — and ready to quit. Even General Washington conceded, "If the army does not get help soon, in all likelihood it will disband."
Valley Forge EncampmentA Winter of Suffering
"To see the men without clothes to cover their nakedness, without blankets to lie upon,
without shoes...without a house or hut to cover
them until those could be built, and submitting
without a murmur, is a proof of patience and
obedience which, in my opinion, can scarcely be
paralleled." George Washington at Valley Forge,
April 21, 1778
The British flag would not be raised above Fort Sackville on the morning of February 25, 1779. British Lieutenant-Governor Henry Hamilton and
