Abstract

The article "NATURAL ENEMIES" from History Today explores the challenges faced by British and Hessian soldiers during the American Revolutionary War due to the hostile environment of America. Soldiers encountered difficulties such as swamps, alligators, mosquitoes, and diseases like malaria and yellow fever. The text highlights the soldiers' struggles and the impact of the environment on their physical and mental health, contrasting it with the Rebels' narrative of natural superiority. The article provides insights into the soldiers' experiences and the harsh realities they faced in the New World. [Extracted from the article]
