For the 250th series: Siege of Boston
Just watched the Benjamin Franklin episode (I'm shockingly behind) and the first thing that I thought of for the series about the Revolution was the Siege of Boston. Much like the episodes that explored rationing on the home front, this could be a fascinating dive into how the people left in Boston were impacted by being cut off from supply lines for almost a whole year. Even the horses were starving.
There's so much that the history segment could cover, from the start (Lexington and Concord) to the Battle of Bunker Hill, the overlooked Burning of Falmouth, the end of the Siege with the fortification of Dorchester with cannons from Fort Ticonderoga. It's such a rich segment of history to explore and I'd love to see Max's take on it!
