The History Guy remembers the Battle of the Chesapeake or the Battle of the Virginia Capes. It was a decisive battle of the American Revolution that took place in September 1781. Curiously, though it was an important Revolutionary battle, it did not include Americans. It is history that deserves to be remembered.
This episode is intended for educational purposes. All events are portrayed within the context of history. It contains period pictures of warships, but no depictions of graphic violence.
The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photographs of actual events are often not available, I will sometimes use photographs of similar events or objects for illustration.
