DAILY LIFE DURING THE WAR
    
During the Revolutionary War, many people had small homes, and only the wealthy had two story houses. Not many kids went to school, and when they did, they were typically ages 6-8. The people wore hand-sewn clothes, and women had to wear something different. Women had to wear things, such as petticoats, gowns, and skirts. They had to eat vegetables they grew themselves and animals they hunted in the places nearby.
