357, Privateering in the American Revolution
Update: 2023-05-09
Description
How did the Continental Congress approach creating military forces that could go toe-to-toe with the British military during the American War for Independence?
Eric Jay Dolin joins us to answer part of that question by looking at the creation of the United States’ privateer fleet. Dolin is the author of fifteen books about the maritime history of early America, including Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution.
