Wait... That means that Walpole is also responsible for the French Revolution and by extension the world as we know it.

Awww sorry to hear you were sick. I wish you had a chance to bring up José Antonio Páez and the Battle of Las Queseras del Medio - when the Venezuelan patriot Llanero cavalry were outnumbered nearly 8-to-1, and were on the retreat - when Paez rallied his troops, had them turn and took the Royalists by surprise, inflicting heavy losses. In particular, there's a small controversy about how he rallied them. Historical accounts declare that he said "¡Vuelvan Caras!" or "About Face!", and it's become a famous slogan in Latin America. However, some historians argue it was more likely he said "¡Vuelvan, Carajo!" which is more or less "Turn around, goddammit!" or "Turn the f*** around!" and historical accounts sanitized it some. I was really sure the Robert Walpole connection was going to involve the War of Jenkins' Ear! It's got such a good (if historically dubious) story behind it, with a welsh mariner Robert Jenkins getting his ear cut off by a Spanish inspector and supposedly putting it in a pickling jar to Parliament. It involved numerous British attacks on New Granada and served as an important lead up to the Seven Years War and, ultimately, the British interest in Spanish American independence. It was also one of the last major political controversies of Walpole's career.

I forget how much I love the opening music for this series. Every time you guys go on vacation, I miss you!

Your suffering fills me with glee.... but I recognize that's a personal failing. Thank you so much for the content, it's interesting as always. Feel better soon.

Didn't we use Jenkins' Ear last time? Or... maybe I researched that as one possible Walpole option, and my brain is confusing me.

As of today they aren't lies, they're "alternative truths". :P

Non-american here too, hence the smiley at the end ;)

Thanks for the added details. I thought the episodes were well done, though for me they were depressing, because of what actually happened. I don't think I could stand reading more, though I would like to know what started "Statutory neglect." And yes, it was really confusing to hear you saying "statutory neglect," over and over, while "Salutary neglect" was displaye beside you, throughout. Again, I gues the artist and you didn't communicate quite enough. I'm sure you'll all continue to work on that. :)
