Analyze why the American troops regained their confidence by the spring of
1778. Summarize (5 sentences min.) what led to this improvement.

President George Washington who also served as a General was impressed by Von Steuben acumen. This led to his appointment as temporary inspector general.

Von Steuben set standards for camp layout, sanitation and conduct. He ran the troops through a lot of intense Prussian-style drills. He taught them to efficiently load, fire and reload weapons. He also taught them to charge with bayonets and march in compact columns of four instead of miles-long single file lines.

All these new tactics, exposure and treatment was responsible for them regaining their confidence.

Churchill had to describe a major military disaster and warn of a possible invasion attempt by the Nazis, without questioning the eventual victory. He also wished to reiterate a policy and an unchanged objective - despite the intermediate events - of his speech on May 13, in which he had declared the goal of "victory, no matter how long and difficult the road".
