ARNOLD BETRAYS spy ring maybe in trouble because of him.

At the point with Benedict Arnold. A spy within against Americans. I will never understand this man.

The French coming to America's aide was a blessing from God. Also, the information Washington received from his spy ring. To help convince the British was going to be attacked in New York but weren't to buy time for the French to come ashore.

Creating a spy ring in Washington's time was more dangerous than today. The risks are the same, but then they didn't have what we have today.

Robert Townsend, a young man who became a spy for George Washington. Forced into fighting the enemy because of their treatment of his family. It took courage to do this. Without him and the others, we might not have beaten those brutes. They saved the American Revolution.

Whoever thought than using the name John Bolton as a spy name.

Reading about Captain Hale George Washington's young spy was sad to read. A brave man who took on a challenge bigger than himself plus the timing was bad sending him in. Thanks to Hale's loyalist cousins who turned him in and was hanged. Washington felt bad but it told him he needed a bigger spy ring to beat the British.
Hale was inspired to take on this challenge thru words from Lt. Tallmadge and stepped forward.

Just began an interesting story of history.
