How a secret spy ring influenced the birth of the US - BBC REEL

[@brachedwards9778]

I just finished binge watching TURN:Washington’s spy’s

[@0HARE]

What a great story! We saw a very interesting Netflix program called “Washington’s Spies” that told some of this story. Many thanks to the Culper Spies!

My understanding from reading "Washington's Spies" is that the number 355 referred to "a lady", as in the generic noun lady. There was no specific "Agent355". IMHO, people want to fancify that such a female spy existed, and even create a whole shadowy life for her. However, i could be wrong and certainly am no expert. Does anyone know where I could read other documents supporting the existence of a real Agent355 ? BTW, I think it is fabulous that the CIA today trains agents using some of the Culper spy ring techniques. Great work knows no time or age! 👍

Everything was a secret , they were good! It wouldn't have been written down!

So “Turn” was based off of fact. 🤔

Yes, but it’s pretty inaccurate as well.

@@tav1754yeah unfortunately many historical accounts do become dramatized and either misconstrue so much or leave whole things out
