"The Men Who Lost America" An Evening with Historian Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy.
Wednesday, October 2, 2013 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM (EDT)
-The Author will discuss and evaluate the role of British leadership in the outcome of the Revolutionary War. It was a war that Britain seemingly should have won as a major military power. It is therefore commonly assumed that failure must have been due to the incompetence of the commanders and the politicians who are ridiculed in fiction and in movies. Although less crudely presented, such caricatures even permeate scholarly literature. The talk will challenge the stereotypes and offer a very different explanation n of why Britain lost the American War of Independence.
Andrew O'Shaughnessy is the Saunders Director of the Robert H. Smith International Center for Jefferson Studies at Monticello and Professor of History at the University of Virginia. He is also author of three other books on the American Revolution.
And Kavips has this fantastic post up on the events leading up to the September 3, 1777 Battle of Cooch's Bridge ~ 11 Score And 16 Years Ago…..
