Now meet the misery beneath the myth.In this immersive, second-person historical journey, you are a Continental soldier—barely trained, barely fed, and barely holding it together. From rotting encampments to frostbite at Valley Forge, from starvation and mutiny to a victory that forgets your name, this is the raw, unromantic truth behind the American Revolution.Told in a calm, bitterly dry tone, this sleep-friendly narrative peels back the layers of patriotic legend to reveal the exhaustion, disease, and despair that defined life in the ranks. It’s not about Washington. It’s about the footsoldier who never got paid.Lie back. Get comfortable. And prepare to regret your enlistment.#continentalarmy #americanrevolution #sleepstory #darkhistory #valleyforge #drowsyhistorian #historypodcast #revolutionarywar #sleepvideo #historicalnarrative
