Gerade gesehen, dass ab nächster Woche "Turn" auf @netflix.com spielt und ich kann nur schwer empfehlen diese Serie anzuschauen!
Es geht um den Culper-Ring (George Washingtons Spione) und ist super spannend!

I am going to watch 355 because it has such a badass name, but I am slightly bitter that it has nothing to do with the actual 355. #whoisanna #isitanna #culperring #herculesmulligan #cato #independance #spyring #woodhull #tallmadge #townsend #history #americanfolklore
Setauket, Long Island - then and now 📍
1778: Abraham Woodhull's spy headquarters, surrounded by British patrols
2025: Quiet Long Island town, most residents unaware of its Revolutionary War significance

Anna Strong's laundry code was genius in its simplicity 🧺
Black petticoat on the line = Caleb Brewster is in the area, meeting tonight
Number of white handkerchiefs = which cove he's anchored in (1-6)
Sometimes, the best hiding place is right in plain sight. #AnnaStrong #CulperRing #HiddenInkComics
Every Monday, we'll share real documents that inspire Liberty's Invisible Ink. Starting with this 1778 Long Island map showing actual Culper Ring spy routes.

Washington knew that intelligence could win or lose a war. British spies posed a threat to the Continental Army, and countering them became a top priority—leading to the formation of America’s first spy ring: the Culper Ring.

Without the #female #355 agent of the #CulperRing of spies, this country might not exist.
Yes, a #woman. So damn good at being a spy that to this very day we do not know her real name.
Tell me how women aren't fit to serve, and I will know you aren't up on your history.
