~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

North America can get pretty cold- a lot colder than Europe! In places like upstate New York, Michigan, Ontario, and Quebec, winters can be deadly even today. So how did people in the 18th Century cope? In this video, I'll discuss some of the clothing and equipment used by the British Army during the American War of Independence, including blanket coats (capotes) and snowshoes!
