Valley Forge, 1777-1778
While rain, snow, and cold temperatures afflicted the army, the situation was made far worse by the lack of shelter, blankets, winter coats, and even shoes. It has been estimated that a third of Washington's army at Valley Forge lacked viable footwear.

The Federalist Papers were a series of essays written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay. They were published between 1787 and 1788 to promote the ratification of the United States Constitution. The essays argued for the need for a strong central government and addressed various concerns and objections raised by anti-federalists.
For example, in Federalist Paper No. 10, James Madison discussed the dangers of factions and how a large republic would help mitigate their influence. In Federalist Paper No. 51, Madison and Hamilton discussed the importance of checks and balances and the separation of powers to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful.
The Federalist Papers are highly regarded as an authoritative source for understanding the intentions and debates surrounding the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution.
