Hopefully the Day will come when we can sit back, Relax, and watch both the American Revolutionary War and the Articles of Confederation. For now I'm just happy that I backed the Winning Horse in the latest Poll for a change. I hope you understand the expression ~ I'm not referring to my actual Horse; old Dolly is a bit long in the Tooth nowadays, and does things in One of Three Speeds: Slow, slower, and stop.

If I don't hear Dan singing a Hamilton song next I'll be severely disappointed

You could say they "basically fell prey to the misconception that simply printing money was literally a way to print money." See what I did there?

plunder but be polite.

Valley Forge exhibited one of Washington's core strengths as a general: his gravitas. His somber tone and clever word choice would help him time and again when things got dicey. When the people complained that Washington sat in Valley Forge not protecting the countryside (in actuality, he was training his troops with the help of the Prussian general Friedrich von Steuben), Washington wrote back with an infinitely polite yet subtly snarky message: "I can assure those Gentlemen that it is a much easier and less distressing thing to draw remonstrances in a comfortable room by a good fire side than to occupy a cold bleak hill and sleep under frost and Snow without Clothes or Blankets; however, although they seem to have little feeling for the naked, and distressed Soldier, I feel superabundantly for them, and from my Soul pity those miseries." Washington used this ability throughout his career as general, as statesman, and as President. During what would be called the Newburgh Conspiracy, when the soldiers were close to mutiny due to lack of backpay because of the financial difficulties of 1783, Washington read a long speech which was received poorly, Washington took out a letter to read to them, which was a simple letter from Congress to the men explaining the current economic problems. After a few moments of struggling, Washington took out a pair of spectacles, an item that he never wore in front of his men and to which only his closest aides had been privy to, and gave a single sentence. "Gentlemen, you will permit me to put on my spectacles, for I have not only grown gray but almost blind in the service of my country." That one sentence, which brought several men to open tears, stopped what his long speech could not, and kept the Articles alive in 1783 until the Constitutional Congress.

I am... So confused right now. You guys managed to get the right British flag for the time period. (And it's that flag that was used until some point in 1801)

Barry Priest

is Hamilton going to look like Lin-Manuel Miranda ?

He'll be back. Time has told; we remember that he was helpfully bold. Oceans rise, empires fall, with him we have survived through it all.

The Newburgh Conspiracy is going to come up next episode! This is a great retelling, though, and I got a chuckle out of his snarky letter during the Valley Forge days.

True story: Lil and I were discussing this series right before it launched and I mentioned something about how often we've gotten the British flag wrong. Seized by panic, both of us rushed to our computers to confirm that this time we did NOT, in fact, get it wrong. And then felt a huge rush of relief when we hadn't.

I'm going to have to remember the southern campaign of the American Revolution next time the topic suggestions happen. It's an interesting one. Even now Charlotte NC still insists it was the first place to declare independence

One of our patrons here (whose Patreon handle I will leave anonymous unless they volunteer it) has a podcast that takes on one of the interesting battles of the southern campaign. The podcast is called "To Wage War" and this was the first episode in the podcast, "An Hour in Carolina." It's a new venture but you might enjoy it if you're interested in the southern campaign!

Ah, found it and listened. I'm glad that some more attention is being paid to that theatre
