🚨 More Americans Died on One British Prison Ship Than in Every Battle of the Revolution Combined. The Empire Called It “Policy.” ☠️
They don’t teach this.
11,500+ American prisoners died on British prison ships during the Revolutionary War.
6,800 died in combat.
Let that math settle in.
The HMS Jersey — nicknamed “Hell” — held 1,000+ men in a space built for 400. Hatches battened down at night. No air. No latrines. Men died in their sleep and lay among the living for days. Dysentery. Typhus. Smallpox.
Rations: worm-infested meat. Moldy bread. Water so foul men drank their own urine.
The British Commissary embezzled the food meant for prisoners. Guards pocketed the difference. Every morning the cry went up: “Rebels, bring out your dead.” Bodies stripped naked, dumped in shallow sandbar graves. For decades after the war, bones washed up on Brooklyn’s shore.
And the choice they offered?
Switch sides. Enlist for the Crown. Get fed. Get freed.
Thousands chose starvation and death instead.
The British refused to classify Americans as POWs — because that would mean recognizing America as a nation. So they called them “rebels in arms.” Criminals.
No protections. No exchanges. Washington begged for prisoner swaps. The British said no. Because starving prisoners was strategic.
This wasn’t collateral damage. This wasn’t the fog of war. This was policy.
The Prison Ship Martyrs’ Monument in Brooklyn holds the bones of ~11,500 of these men. It’s one of the tallest Doric columns on earth. More American dead than Gettysburg, sitting in a crypt in Fort Greene Park.
Nobody visits it. Nobody teaches it.
Because the story of men rotting in floating dungeons, eating their shoes, refusing to betray their country — that’s harder to package than Bunker Hill.
But it’s the truer story.
Remember the ships. Remember what empire actually looks like.
Want video links? Search “HMS Jersey prison ship” or “Prison Ship Martyrs Monument” on X and YouTube — several excellent documentaries and historical breakdowns are available. The History Guy and American Battlefield Trust both have solid pieces on it.
@viking_boer@VChannelling@BrendenTheatres This is AWESOME! I've not had a chance to go yet. Closest showing is 45 mins away. Taking Mom to the big city for surgery this week and we plan to go see it after her pre-op is completed day before surgery! Enjoy!! I hear it is a great movie! The sequel 1776 is in the works!
At the end of the day, the only Truth that remains is, Jesus the Christ died for the redemption of your sins. He defeated death, and rose again. You can share in that Victory, and have redemption. It is the hope that moves nations. It is my only hope.
@Zayin_7_119 Some friends of mine (Alabama) went with Straight Talk for their family of 5. I just checked and the lowest plan they have would be $125 total for all 5 lines. I have no idea about use in TX, but I think they are a national brand.
@SenRickScott What actions will you be taking to see that this is passed? Get back to us when you actually DO something besides post on X. We are sick of empty promises! Get it done!
@PeteHegseth Good! Because this is great stuff! With all the 250 celebrations and fly overs of stadiums and DC, continuing the celebration between our military and citizens is a beautiful thing! Those pilots should not be grounded bc of this!
@SenTuberville@POTUS Please report back to us on EXACTLY what you are doing to help achieve these goals, other that posting on X! Your attention to this matter is appreciated. Sincerely, an Alabama voting constituent
