HOW 'BOUT VALLEY FORGE WINTER? Let me devise a scene.
So America's sitting around a meager fire with some regular soldiers. It's early January. None of them have shoes, most only have their mud-splattered uniforms for warmth, and the wind is just constant. America himself is so starved that his stomach feels numb, every bit of his body is frozen, and he has a painful wet cough. The other guys aren't in any better shape. America thinks the dude on his left might actually be dead but he's too tired to really check, so he just presumes that he isn't sitting next to a soldiercicle. He feels restless; everyone is near death, desertion, and just plain miserable. Not to mention the pain of his land being razed and the civil war between loyalists, patriots, and neutrals who are being forced to join either side.
Realistically, America is preparing himself for death. He's basically on the run from one of the most powerful armies in the world. No one's ever broken away like this before, let alone won independence and remained stable long enough to transform into a true nation. Prospects are grim.
But. France has joined the war. Prussia is on the way. He tells his soldiers that even though the winter's harsh and they have a long road ahead of them, just think about what they're accomplishing. Worst case scenario, they'll die defending not just their homes, but the very core of their ideology, and that won't die even if the war is lost. Best case, they come out of this achieving the first step of the grandest experiment history has ever known. The world wouldn't even know what to do with this much fucking liberty. It would be like, "shit, the Roman's don't got shit on these guys" NO. Even better. They were the chosen people of God. Israel the sequel, except with more Quakers. Either way, they're fighting 'til their last breaths for a chance to make the grandest, freest, most equal nation on Earth.
And really, fighting for that dream beats the hell out of just about anything.
Cough cough.
...Oh hey! They guy next to him isn't dead, as it turns out. Damn, there goes our meat rations. Everyone laughs (or wheezes), America feels a little lighter, and they all get up to go build some more huts. Gotta get their shit together before the ground freezes!
(AND THAT IS MY TL;DR STORY. the part about people thinking of America as the new Israel is actually true.)
