and he could have recalled clinton, cornwallis at that point to new york. he didn't i think in part because he expectant some reinforcement from the caribbean himself, which he got. it turned out to be useless since rochambeau and washington band didn't attack new york but he did get the reinforcements and thought they would be adequate. but also because he was confident that the allies couldn't succeed an attack on new york. he had the capability to repulse an attack and then cornwallis' could go from there in virginia. >> few historians we now have a grasp of this time pro bowl like you do. it's been a pleasure to have you. john ferling thank you very much.
