Carleton stonewalling George Washington on the return of enslaved people are some of my favorite letters from the end of the war.
Harry Washington evacuates to Nova Scotia then on to Sierra Leon, where he later uses the language of the American Revolution against the British. #HATM

Since we're coming up on the Redoubt 10 mention -- one of my favorite moments in the Battle of Yorktown!
Took these photos last November. Looking forward to a return trip next week! #HATM

What often gets lost in the story of Arnold’s betrayal is his anger about allying with the French. He is a Protestant who now is asked to become friends with their former Catholic French enemies. #HATM
