What was everyday life like during the American War for Independence?

In honor of the Fourth of July, we\u2019ll investigate answers to this question by exploring the histories of occupied Philadelphia and Yorktown, and how civilians, those left on the home front in both of those places, experienced the war and its armies.\xa0 These episodes will allow us to see how the war impacted those who remained at home. They will also allow us to better understand the messy confusion and uncertainty Americans experienced in between the big battles and events of the American Revolution.\xa0

This first episode investigates everyday life in British-occupied Philadelphia.
