Prices are climbing, tempers are flaring, and the paper money in our pockets is losing value faster than flour can rise. In today’s episode of Revolutionary Talk, Dave Diamond takes us straight into the heart of colonial frustration. From the markets of Norwich to the farmlands beyond, inflation and British blockades are squeezing every family’s table. Merchants hoard supplies, Congress floods the streets with worthless currency, and whispers spread of corruption within the very army meant to defend liberty. Meanwhile, word from Boston hints that General Gage may be finished, with a new British commander—General Howe—waiting in the wings. As Dave wrestles with loyalist neighbors, rum prices, and his own thinning patience, one truth becomes clear: this Revolution may be about freedom, but it’s being paid for in hard coin, sweat, and sacrifice.
