In the days of the American Revolution, life is difficult and death often comes early. Some patriots even welcome early death if it means they can help secure freedom for the people of the newly created United States of America.
The average life expectancy during this era was 36.

I had a guy challenge that years ago, saying we don’t live much longer today than in previous history.
It was an interesting premise. I didn’t buy into it, but he did provide some data to back it up. Don’t recall it all now.
