In 1781, there seemed little hope for the American Revolution. The war in the north had stagnated, and the British were in the process of driving the Continental army out of the south.

And then the Royal Navy lost a battle. To the French navy.

Learn a bit about the engagement, campaign, and naval tactics from the age of fighting sail as we discuss the battle with a guest contributor.
