A Revolutionary Approach: British Prison Ships & the Killing of Christopher Seider During the American Revolution


Listen Later

Happy Independence Day, Americans! Or, for our friends in England, Happy Treason Day from the ungrateful colonials! This week, John & Christine team up to bring you two not-so-popular stories from the American Revolution that you may have missed in history class.

First, Christine takes a deep dive into the British prison ships and the terrible conditions prisoners were forced to endure throughout the war.

Later, John gets into the killing of 11-year old Christopher Seider, who would become the first casualty of the Revolutionary War when he was shot and killed during a protest in Massachusetts in 1770.

We hope you all had a great holiday here in the states!
