I find this interesting as I have seven ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War, and one of them was on the British side who was captured by colonials in 1777 and stayed in America after he was released.
The Battle of Bunker Hill was NOT decisive. It was pyrrhic.
Everyone knows that South Carolina was where the R War was won. In fact this is now on SC’s standard default license plate. “Where the Revolutionary War was Won”
Actually it should be called “the Battle of Breed’s Hill.” I guess Bunker had a better PR flak.
Just saw this. I havefive patriot ancestors who served in the Revolution. One is a direct line 9th great grandfather. Derrick Hollenbeck. Was a 19 year old private in the 8th Albany Militia whose job was guarding West Point. They fought in one battle and lost 20% killed. They were there at West Point to help guard Washington when he visited and discovered what Benedict Arnold - a very distant cousin - did with the British.
Serving as a judge on Arnold’s trial was Nathanael Greene a cousin whose grandfather Jabaz Greene was my 9th great granfather. I’m SAR and not happy the the DAR has opted to accept transexual delusional frankensteins, but that is their decision.
