Blog #4- Revolution Artical

I learned 5 interesting facts in the article about the American Revolution.
1. American soldiers had to resort to eating dogs, tree bark, and soup made out of boiled shoes and candle wax.
2. Over 100,000 Loyalists fled into exile after the war, which was roughly 5% of the free percent.
3. Civilian casualties were relatively high, as many were infected with disease from battle camps, coastal towns were bombarded by British naval attacks, and frontiersmen were attacked by Indians.
4. Many underplay the actual war because of all the other events that surrounded it, including the Declaration of Independence, Boston Tea Party, and the Constitution.
5. At many times America soldiers were running around and fighting without shoes and sometimes nearly naked with the exception of a blanket or a couple undergarments.
