“The biggest army,” I told them, “does not always win. When people are fighting for their freedom, for their families and their homes, for things they love and believe in, they fight harder than it makes sense to. They fight harder than anyone could predict or prepare for or defend against. The British wanted to win the war, and by all accounts they should have, but the revolutionaries had to win. Everything depended upon it. They simply had to, and so they did.”
