click here: Leave a text, tell us what you likedPart of the 250th Anniversary Series on RetireCoast.comAs we approach the 250th Anniversary of American Independence, it’s time to look beyond the battlefield and honor the people whose sacrifices made freedom possible—but whose stories are rarely told.In this episode, we explore the lives of the camp followers who trailed the Continental Army during the American Revolution. These families—women, children, and elderly relatives—performed the essential work that kept the army alive. They nursed the sick, repaired clothing, prepared meals, and endured starvation, disease, and the constant threat of violence, often while receiving fewer rations than the soldiers themselves.Even George Washington acknowledged that the army could not have survived without their tireless support. Their labor, resilience, and willingness to suffer unimaginable hardships formed the true backbone of the war effort.This podcast is part of RetireCoast.com’s 250th Anniversary series, an entire section dedicated to exploring what happened in 1776—and how our forefathers and foremothers endured extraordinary hardship, uncertainty, and sacrifice to create this great nation. These stories remind us that American independence was not won by soldiers alone, but by families and civilians who carried the weight of history on their backs.This episode stands as a tribute to the unsung heroes of the Revolution—and a reminder that freedom was forged not only through battle, but through perseverance, sacrifice, and shared resolve.Support the showEnjoyed this episode? 🎙️Subscribe to the RetireCoast Podcast for more practical conversations about retirement planning, financial preparedness, small business growth, and life on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. 👉 Visit RetireCoast.com for in-depth articles, resources, checklists, and guides that expand on the topics we cover here. 💬 Have a question or want us to cover a topic?Email info@retirecoast.com or join our Facebook community:Business After Retirement: Start, Manage, Succeed.
