In an effort to rally the nation in the midst of war, and attract
popular support for itself, Congress addressed the inhabitants of
the United States, reminding them of the cruelties they had
suffered at the hands of the British, and warning them that more
such treatment would result from a reunion with Britain. Because
people regularly gathered at places of worship, Congress
distributed the address to "churches and chapels and other places
of religious worship" with the request that ministers read it aloud to
their congregation immediately after divine service. Written by
Congressman Gouverneur Morris, the address was sent
throughout the states, and 50 copies were given to General
Washington, to disperse throughout the army.
Use the excerpt to answer the question.

morale by releasing this address in early 1778?

British.

supplies.
