Very enlightening. It is a semi condensed actual account about George Washington. The first episode was Sunday. I'm watching number two tonight with the conclusion tomorrow night at 7 Central.
Anyone watching the mini series, Washington, on the History Channel?

I had intended to watch but missed #1. I looked it up and it seems that all 3 will be shown Friday starting at 5 P.M. I plan to record them all and watch on the weekend.
One point was made. The American Army was expecting to be supported by the federal government when there was no federal government.
Sound familiar?
Sound familiar?
Watched parts 1 & 2 last night, watching part 3 now...one thing I caught last night was the fact that "Ft Necessity" was only 50 feet across or diameter or something along those lines, crazy to think about trying to defend that sized area while surrounded...
Also never knew that Marquis de Lafayette was only 19 y.o. when he started assisting Washington
Necessity sounds more like an outhouse than a fort.
The way they showed it, was a tiny circular privacy fence in the middle of a field LOL
This surprised me as well. That and the tactical location was a mistake. The first episode portrayed Washington as making a series mistakes due to his inexperience.
It’s actually amazing how a series of events actually created this wonderful country we know. Had the British treated Washington as an officer and an equal in the military, we may have never had a General / President Washington.
