Aspects of the Revolutionary War that we forget or just don't know about because there's just not enough time in our educational day for history. The birth of our nation required the death of what was itself a great nation for 250+ years, the Iroquis Nation along with many other native cultures. The Colonial army was truly fighting two separate wars and the political intrique exercised sounds like it's right from today's Washington D.C. stupidity.

Cunning and Cruelty were used unsparingly in an effort to remain/gain sovereign(ty). Compelling and insightful!
