Episode Synopsis
The winter encampment that Americans reflexively call “Valley Forge” has become a kind of historical shorthand, a single frozen tableau where virtue shivers nobly and emerges purified. That picture is comforting, and like most comforting pictures, it is incomplete.

Valley Forge was not the beginning of the story, and it was not even the worst chapter. It was the reckoning.
