RW3: British and Continental Soldiers
About this episode
This episode explores the everyday experiences of soldiers during the Revolutionary War, focusing on various groups involved in the conflict.
What was life really like for the men who fought in the Revolutionary War? In this episode, James and Audrey step away from the battlefield narrative to explore the everyday experiences of British redcoats, Patriots, Loyalists, Hessians, Native Americans, and Black Americans who served in the war. From enlistment and training to uniforms, weapons, food, discipline, and camp life, they examine the realities of eighteenth-century military service. Along the way, they separate myth from fact and reveal the human stories behind the armies that fought for the future of North America. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
