What began as a tiny rebellion in a handful of distant
colonies was rapidly changing. Following the American victory at Saratoga, the
empire of France pledged its support to the Patriot cause and breathed new life
into the American Revolution. After a harsh and terrible winter at Valley
Forge, followed by a drastic reversal of fortunes due to French monies,
George Washington’s Continental Army was finally ready for primetime. But the
war itself would soon morph, and distant lands rarely associated with the
American revolutionaries would now find themselves embroiled in conflict. On
this episode we discuss the forgotten legacy of the year 1778.
