Everyone has probably heard the tired stories of the shady practices supposedly used by recruiting parties for the British Army during the mid to late 18th century: from enlisting men taken from prisons, to slipping coins into men's drinks. But is there any truth to these stories? Or is it all nonsense, and if so, where does it come from? In this video, which is part of the "History Matters" collaboration, I hope to answer these questions, and more.
Collab Playlist: • Because History Matters!
Enjoy!
