FIVE REASONS WE WON THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR…and they’re not what you learned in school!

Nearly all of us have had extensive lessons on the Revolutionary War—Lexington and Concord, the Declaration of Independence, Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, George Washington, Benedict Arnold and Alexander Hamilton—the list goes on and on. However, as I dug into historical research for my new Revolutionary War thriller, ABIGAIL TRENCH, I stumbled upon details and specifics about how and why we won that war that I never knew. I was surprised and fascinated by these revelations and have drawn from what I learned to create a multi-media presentation to highlight five major reasons we won the war for independence—and not the ones taught in American History class. What better time than our country’s 250th anniversary to gain some new insights into the fight for independence. You’ll come away a wiser patriot.
