This week’s episode will close the chapter on the Quasi-War. We’ll discuss the Marines amphibious landing, a few battles where Marine musket fire caused the enemy to retreat, the signing of the peace treaty, response from Congress after the end of the war, and we’ll introduce a young Second Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon.
