American Revolution | A Devil of a Whipping | 5
About this episode
The episode discusses the aftermath of the American victory at Saratoga and the subsequent challenges faced by the Patriot cause during the Revolutionary War.
In the aftermath of America’s victory at Saratoga, France entered the Revolutionary War, transforming the colonial rebellion into a global conflict. British officials decided that the path to victory lay in the South. As the fighting shifted to the Carolinas, a brutal civil war erupted, pitting families and neighbors against one another in cycles of violence and retribution. By 1779, the Patriot cause hung in the balance, undermined by rampant inflation, soldier mutinies, and one of the most notorious incidents of treason in American history.
