@Jason_R_Burt Bring on the hedgehogs!

@Eileen_Schnabel Victualing, although a problem for both sides, I think hit the British a bit more. I don't believe they made more than little improvement throughout the war to the problem of their 3.000+ logistical tail.

@Jason_R_Burt I LIKE IKE

@SWOConnell I just visited his memorial stone at the cemetery in Warrenton, Georgia, four days ago. It was pouring rain.

@Eileen_Schnabel Thanks for covering this. A great example was Lord Cornwallis having 2,500 men march and scale the steep. 300 feet high, NJ Palisade's. He did what American's thought impossible and the result was we had to abandon NYC.

@SWOConnell I believe Washington learned his lesson. During the Revolution, in any matter of import involving the French, Washington dispatched or had present, fluent French speakers.

@TaraRoss They were married on the 12th day of Christmas, Feast of the 3 Kings, the night the grandest cake of the season was served, ensuring upon every wedding anniversary, they would celebrate with a grand cake.

@historycalendar The epitome of Cincinnatus.

@Eileen_Schnabel Love the history about the 80 year old...the man was epic! He was 12 years past my situation when it happened and I must say, if a British soldier just showed me his bayonet, I'd probably respond "God save the King! Huzzah!",,,lol

@SWOConnell In the end, the name-less one was a coward, allowing Andre to suffer the fate that should have been his.

@Eileen_Schnabel The decedents of the Loyalist in Canada, to this day can use initials UEL (United Empire Loyalist) on their signatures. Questions 2/3 were tricky as the Oneida were members of the Iroquois Nation.

@Eileen_Schnabel If I recall correctly, the first King of the House of Hanover, George I, spoke no English. George III lived in interesting times, coming to power at tail of FIW, ruling through AmerRev and War 1812.

@_SimonBarnett @Kristinartz Yep...

[History With Izzy @HistoryWithIzzy]

@Eileen_Schnabel Got 1st correct...2nd surprised me.
