Who else's story was unfolding while patriots and redcoats clashed? In this episode, Loyalists, Natives, and Women in the Revolution, we uncover the perspectives often left out of the spotlight. For Loyalists, the war meant persecution, exile, and divided families as neighbors turned against each other. For Native nations, it was a struggle for survival, as alliances with Britain or the colonies carried immense risks and lasting consequences. And for women, the Revolution opened new roles—from running farms and businesses to serving as messengers, spies, and even soldiers in disguise—while planting the seeds of future demands for equality. If you've ever wondered how America's fight for liberty reshaped lives far beyond the battlefield, this episode brings those voices to the forefront.
