History Factoid: To the Victor…
While we tend to celebrate the victory, July 4th, today is actually the day the American Revolution STARTED in 1775. In the true spirit of “win the battle, lose the war” the BBC notes:
“The American War of Independence begins with the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The British won both.”
Jolly good, thanks for the reminder Mr. Chips.
