They suffered during the winter because the troops did't have the proper clothing. The army was only given a small amount of food each day, but they soon ran out. Baron Von Steuben came a few months after they arrived at Valley Forge and he brought food with him. The troops made fire cakes (flour and water made on a Dutch Oven) once they ran out of other food. The Rebel army settled down at Valley Forge because of disease, hunger, and weather. The troops were dying, starving, and about to give up before General Nathanael Greene. He whipped them into shape and turned them into a battle-ready army.
