Real Housewives of the Revolution

Because the American Revolution was being fought on American soil, the soldier’s family was often involved in the war in some way, too – no matter if they were Patriots or Loyalists. Sometimes this took the form of sons and fathers fighting in battles side by side or in separate areas. Sometimes, this meant that wives followed their husbands and camped with them as the men fought. But it also meant that when husbands and fathers were off fighting, the women and children were home to deal with daily life, invading enemy troops, or keeping their families fed.We talk the lives of about some of those women in this episode, Real Housewives of the Revolution.
