When Copies of the Declaration of Independence reached England, a civil war broke out. A number of Englishmen wanted their own freedom from King George. Men and supplies meant for America were diverted to put down the revolt. English armies also had to fight in Scotland and Ireland. Two Methodist Preachers, John Wesley and John Fletcher began writing sermons supporting Law and Order. The Methodist circuit riders preached them. Basically it was the Methodist Circuit Riders that put down the revolt. John Wesley's followers say that because of his circuit riders, England was spared the revolutions that spread across Europe. His critics say the same thing. King George offered John Wesley the position of Chancellor in the government and he offered John Fletcher the position of Prime Minister. Both turned him down.

Loyalists were against the Declaration of Independence. They believed that America should be loyal to Britain. Many Loyalists simply left America.
