    New York was a colony that was undecided on choosing whether to cheer on the Rebels or the British. During this time period everybody would encourage one side one day and then the other the next and try to fight, in the end they all fought which lead to more bloodshed. In the text on page 46 it states, “You don't like the Rebels?” I asked… “Listen to me good. Them that feed us” - she pointed upstairs “they’re Loyalist, Tories. That means that we’re Tories too understand.” This text means that who you believed in, whether it be the Loyalist or the Rebels people liked to keep that to themselves and lie to the people who dared to ask them which side they were on. It also shows how a person may momentarily choose one side over the other just because it is convenient with the kind of lifestyle that they person may have.…

    “Why Men Fought in the American Revolution,” explains the reasons that American men decided to fight and risk their lives for their families and their beliefs. Robert L. Middlekauff lists his opinions in this excerpt of the many reasons men chose to fight against the British in the Revolutionary War. In “Why Men fought in the American Revolution,” MiddleKauff makes the argument that the American soldiers fought because their beliefs were reflected through their fighting. He shows that soldiers used their relationships to endure the fighting, felt a sense of responsibility to their family and to their country, and shows the false explanations that some believe to be true.…

    During the Revolutionary war, there were sides that were either of the revolution or against. Those who were for, were called patriots. They managed to take control of local governments to punish those against the war and enforce restrictions against them. On the other hand, the loyalists, for the most part, were members of the elite class who had economical and cultural ties with England. The most prominent loyalist included royal officials such as judges, governors, and customs officials, wealthy merchants, conservative lawyers, but some were also ordinary colonists, Carolina farmers and tenant farmers of the Hudson River valley, as well as southern…

    After reading about the Loyalist by Loyalists themselves I figured it was an inequitable battle between the Loyalist and the American people. The Loyalist had to fight against the Patriots on American territory. Also, the Loyalist had limited help because the British army wasn't always around to help out. The Loyalist was tortured and killed, they were hung, tarred, feathered, whipped, and etc. The Patriots didn't care if you are a politician or a regular person the price for betraying your country were endless. It's gotten so debauched that people had to live on the street because the Patriots burn their house and had their land taken away. If the Loyalist didn't have to go through so much torment a lot more people would have joined the…

    I am on the side of Benjamin Franklin because we have to take matters into our own hands to break free from Great Britain. We have tried multiple times trying to break free from Britain and we can’t just think that King george will stop his ways. Just as Patrick Henry said “Give me liberty or Death” we will should fight to get our freedom even if matters go to violence. If people join the Loyalists then they are breaking the dream of our great country the United States of America. This is also breaking the dream of our great president George Washington.…

    How do you do? I wanted to say that I agree with your statement about how you should be against independence. I also believe that you should not go against Britain and not have independence. The Loyalists should not break away because then they will lose an important ally who has a powerful navy. You wrote that "by a connection with Great Britain, our trade would still have the protection if the greatest naval power in the world." I support your belief because you considered the bad things that would happen once the Loyalists declared independence, and it outweighs the pros. "Blood would be spilt, and thousands reduced to beggary and wretchedness," was what you said if the American colonies would not give up their fight. Why not avoid all the…

    A loyalist is a person who is loyal to their home country whether they are inside or outside of that country. A loyalist is a person who would never betray or try to change their country and how it is. A patriot is someone who does not agree with what their country has done and wants to fight against their country for their own reasons. A patriot betrays its home country for a good cause, not for something unworthy. An example of an act that caused the revolution would be the stamp act. This is an act where you had to pay a tax in order to get a stamp to put up flyers. An example of a patriot from the film is Gabriel Martin. Gabriel Martin wanted to join the continental congress so bad that he enlisted without permission from his father Benjamin. Gabriel did all he could to bring victory to the colonies. An example of a…
