The Revolution in Agriculture Main goal of traditional peasant society was a stability that would ensure local food supply. Tillers resisted changes that might endanger that. But food supply was never certain, and the farther east you went the worse it got. Harvest failure meant death of starvation or malnutrition on top of hardship, and people in the countryside had it worse b/c cities usually stored grain. Poor harvests led to higher prices, and even small increases of prices put strain on the peasant and artesian families. Many families fell back on the welfare of churches and local govt?s.

The Battle of Trenton
During the Revolutionary War, George Washington led the Continental Army to their first victory by surprising the British troops at the Battle of Trenton in New Jersey. Washington shouldn't have been able to surprise anyone. A loyalist spy trying to report Washington's plan wasn't allowed in to see the British commander because the colonel wouldn't be interrupted while playing cards. When thhe desperate spy finally send in a note explaining that the enemy was advancing for a sneak attack, thhe British colonel put the note in his pocket unread and continued playing cards. It was his deal. The note was later found on the dead colonel's body after Washington's victory.
