RANDOLPH G. FLOOD


Join Randolph Flood, host of The Real American Revolution, as he discusses how the French supported the American Revolutionary cause. This virtual talk will be streamed LIVE on Red Hill’s social media pages.
 
About the talk:
 
Few Americans know the full story of how France became involved in America’s War for Independence. Randolph G. Flood, host of The Real American Revolution, Flood will explore what really happened with France’s participation during our Revolutionary War, answering the questions: Why did King Louis XVI support the American Cause? What forms of French aid were provided to help the Americans be victorious? Who were the key individuals who really made it happen? Much of what you will learn cannot be found in school textbooks and will reveal the behind-the-scenes maneuvering that brought success to the American Cause.
