The winter of 1779-1780 at Morristown, New Jersey, presented George Washington and his army with unprecedented challenges, including severe suffering, starvation, and internal strife. As morale plummeted and threats from the British loomed, Washington faced the potential collapse of his forces. Despite these hardships, the arrival of Lafayette in the spring heralded a turning point, as he promised crucial French support that would ultimately lead to the British defeat in 1783. This period is marked as Washington's darkest hour yet pivotal for the Revolutionary War's outcome.
