Enraged French Admirals and Generals that won the American Revolution.

The momentum is NOT currently building for the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. We are two years away and that makes some sense but it still is a bit surprising. My expectation is a 400% increase but 1976 saw a 1000% increase in the prices of books, maps and egravings related to this event. These celebrations cost money, take resources, books have to be published, and Dept of the Interior supervisors need to have motivation. Biden has put people from backgrounds that supported him in South Carolina into these positions and they severely lack the allure that rich aficionados require for the big checks to be written for appropriate celebrations. The current situation at Valley Forge is certainly understandable but nonetheless tragic. The towering rage of French Admirals and Generals from the 1763 Treaty of Paris is a profound reason for the outcome of the American Revolution. The Sartine Sea Atlas sold at my auction last Saturday, June 22, 2024 is compelling proof of their motivation for revenge. It would make a very good movie for a subject that has never been explored terribly well.
