Was John Paul Jones a patriot?
Yes, John Paul Jones was an American Patriot,(although the question does not capitalise the word patriot and thus implies a patriot, ie a person loyal to one's country…, in the general sense. This definition ruled out many of the British colonists and opportunistic fellow travellers like JPJ who rebelled against their own king) According to Wikipedia, "Patriots (also known as Americans, Whigs, Revolutionaries, Congress-Men or Rebels) was the name the colonists of the British Thirteen United Colonies who rebelled against British control during the American Revolution called themselves." Captain Jones rebelled against British control during the American Revolution; therefore he is a Patriot. In response to the other comment below: From which navy or other military division did he desert? Captain Jones was never in the British Army/Navy. If he supposedly wasn't a patriot, why did he command American naval vessels? If you have read a biography of John Paul Jones, you would know that he was a devoted Patriot who risked his life more than once for the American Cause. If you are interested in the life and career of John Paul Jones, I would recommend reading John Paul Jones: A Sailor's Biography by Samuel Eliot Morison. It is an excellent source of accurate information. Not at all. He deserted to the enemy (the rebellious American colonists) and helped them build a navy and then came back and attacked his own countrymen. That makes him a traitor. (MORE)
