What happens when an army is ordered to attack in total darkness with only bayonets? In the dead of night on September 20, 1777, British forces under Major General Charles "No-Flint" Grey did just that, launching one of the most brutal surprise attacks of the Revolutionary War.
In this video, we uncover the full story of the Battle of Paoli, also known as the Paoli Massacre. We'll explore the controversial tactics that led to a devastating American defeat and how the cry "Remember Paoli!" became a powerful source of vengeance for the Continental Army.
