"The Colonial Living History Alliance brings a unique depiction of what 18th century life was like for many Colonists. Estimates vary slightly, but in the 1750’s, there was an estimated English population of 1.2 million people. At it’s height during the American Revolution, only about 20 to 30 thousand, or roughly about 2.5% of the population, were directly involved in the military.
What about the other 97 percent? They were the Farmers, Shopkeepers, Tavern keepers, Midwives and other civilians that continued to go about their daily lives, in spite of the European power struggles going on around them. The Colonial Living History Alliance creates this experience for us with their beautiful and authentic recreations of life in the 18th Century."
