interview--a perfect show for the 4th of July--renowned historian John Freling returns
Modern Americans tend to think that it was inevitable that we beat the British and won our war for independence. It was not. To learn how successful the British "Southern strategy" was and how it almost won the war, to learn how four different entire American armies were destroyed fighting General Cornwallis, to find out how the French navy had their strategy which didn't always pigeonhole with George Washington's, and how it took dedicated partisans and militia as well as careful planning and Providence to trap Cornwallis and win the war, be sure to listen.
