To make a hardtack have more flavor you can dip it in wine, beer or whiskey and it tastes excellent

[@Ugnaught82]

Fry it in bacon grease.... mmmmm tasty!

[@yourboybingo9143]

American Revolution Reenactors you watch this channel too?

@@Ugnaught82 In the Civil War they would use their cornmeal and mix it with bacon grease and then take the dough and cook it over the fire with their ramrods over their campfire and called it Sloosh. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloosh

[@therainbowgulag.]

It's generally meant to mixed into a porridge type dish otherwise you'd have no teath soon.

[@MirahCarter]

Thanks for the video. What an experience to just be in something like that. America, bless God.

[@ziggymorris8760]

They had such nice uniforms

[@CharlotteFairchild]

You guys are not hungry. If you were hungry, hard tack would be delicious.

[@SonsOfLorgar]

Also, hard tack is a lot better eating when reconstituted by dipping it in gravy or dissolved in broth with the meat ration and/or foraged mushrooms and vegetables to make a stew.

[@americanrevolutionreenacto2357]

Really good!

[@wintersheritagehouse4277]

Amazing!!

[@ariochiv]

I think it's great that everyone pitches a tent and bivouacs as if they were real soldiers, instead of hopping out of an SUV and stepping into line.

[@Punktastic13]

Hardtack AMSR!

[@NHPsychoticGoat]

Tip to all reenactors.....Dont wear modern items when reenacting, like plastic rimmed glasses, modern wedding bands, earrings....it really takes away from the living history reenacting. Remember ur not only their to have a good time, your teaching people as well.

[@Joseywales414]

Stop doing fist bumps while retreating, looks so tacky,,, such a modern 2020 thing

[@roberthudson1959]

Lighten up. Soldiers wouldn't have worn glasses in battle at all, and I wouldn't be able to participate at all without mine.

[@dayofthesiege3892]

Great video i liked!

[@CharlotteFairchild]

What happened with the Loyalists who moved to Canada? Were they given British uniforms or did they look like the Patriots? Peter Fairchild, his father and many of his relatives moved to Boston and Brant, Canada after their mills and houses were destroyed after the war by the Patriots. Peter started a church in Canada. in 1790 he had 5 children in New York before moving to Canada when things got too difficult.

[@CharlotteFairchild]

Peter's son Israel moved to Cherry Creek, NY and was an abolitionist. He had 9 children.

[@oliver8928]

There were over 15 regular loyalist Regiments raised throughout the war (Who received standard British uniforms and arms, the coats being Green with white facings early in the war before being replaced by Red coats with Yellow, Black, Green and Blue facings respectively) as well as countless loyalist militia Regiments who wore their everyday outdoor clothing, similar to the Rebel Militias. All apart from certain light and rifle companies were armed with the Land Pattern (Bess) Musket or Pattern 1776 Infantry Rifle. All in all this constituted around 25,000 troops throughout the war, the majority of which settled in the new province of New Brunswick and were often granted land there fore their service.

[@ariochiv]

I don't think anyone actually ate hardtack dry unless they were starving.

[@dariogodinezalatorre8280]

How many years can u John the army

[@chrisryan3770]

There’s not, nor was there ever, a Royal Army or “His/Her Majesty’s Army. There are Royal Regiments in the British Army but these, as with most regiments, were formed by regional land owners or dignitaries. The Royal title is an honorific title gifted after service exploits. Because it is made up of regiments and corps which were independently raised and paid for it has always been known as the British Army.

[@stevenpremmel4116]

I was thinking about this. We both know this is the case, but would the colonists have made that distinction?

0:00 he has a light infantry cap but... he doesn’t have a light infantry uniform. Nor does he have a proper cartridge box, bayonet, neck stock, or garters

[@leithafae]

didnt anyone tell you, it needs water or at least softening before you eat hard tac. goes well in stew lol. how many teeth are left

[@AlbertWesker-vm1pp]

Hardtack is hard, I had it and damn it was hard

[@Lindarianmusic]

I love the reenactment humor, Americans🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I portray one of the first female colonial patriots known as Martha Cochran Corbin an embodiment of Molly Pitcher. Hopefully the hard tack was a softer version of the original, otherwise they will know what a tooth breaker is and hopefully, it isn't weevil flavored. Oh, ouch I normally make my ships biscuits softer, so I won't break my teeth on it and usually, I dunk mine in my coffee and it tastes really good that way. Mount Vernon does a great job, recruiting historically accurate living historians for this event.

[@yellowplate4539]

why are the americans and british fighting so close to each other

[@mikeyunovapix7181]

thats pretty much how wars were fought at the time. their guns were single shot such as muskets and sometimes muzzleloading rifles. the muskets were horribly inaccurate due to a smooth bore. So the optimal way for a large army to fight a war at the time was to form a line and fire a volley at the enemy. it began to change when breech-loading guns and self contained ammunition started to enter the battlefield less than 100 years later.
