Premise[]

Summary[]

Trivia[]

  • Historical Inaccuracy: This episode takes place in August 1781. In one scene, King George III receives a letter of resignation by Lord North on account of the British defeat at Yorktown. In real life, Lord North did not resign as British Prime Minister until March 20, 1782.
  • This is the second and last episode to not feature James.
  • King George's denial and insanity over America's victory in the war as seen in this episode could have been one instance of mental illness. In the later part of his life, George had recurrent, and eventually permanent, mental illness. While it has since been suggested that he had bipolar disorder or the blood disease porphyria, the cause of his illness remains unknown. 
  • Because it is set in August 1781, that would mean that the events of this episode would chronologically take place after Deborah Samson: Soldier of the Revolution (July), and directly before the events of the two previous episodes, James Armistead (September) and Yorktown (October).
