many of the american were happy, because they were finally going to be free from the british but some of the loyalist werent happy
Loyalist strength was pretty much great throughout the colonies during the American Revolution because only about 1/3 of the colonists supported the Patriot Cause.
It was a Civil War only because the Americans were divided between Loyalist and Patriot. The American Revolution is not considered a civil war.
General Burgoyne was neither. He was a brutish general the fought in the American Revolution and lost at the battle of Saratoga (which many consider the turning point of the war) Since he was not from the colonies he could not be either, but if you had to pick he was a loyalist because he was British.
During the American Revolution, a number of colonists wanted to remain loyal to Great Britain. Because of social pressure from many other Americans that wanted independence, many loyalists decided to move to British Canada.
After the American Revolution, South Carolina suffered greatly because they were a deeply divided state. In addition, the presence of the British began to cause extreme violence in the area.
They didn't have to, they chose to support Great Britain because they thought they shouldn't break away from England.
the patriots were Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, Paul Revere, Molly Pitcher, James Lafayette, Abigail Adams and Ethan Allen. They were the traitors in the American Revolution.
the American revolution is important because it led to the revolutionary war
Laura Secord moved to Canada after the American Revolution because her father had sided with the Patriots and decided to move their family. She also married United Empire Loyalist James Secord in 1797 who was the son of an officer of Butler's Rangers.
well because their were more patirots "a.k.a people who didnt agree with king" than there were loyalist
Because not all were patriots so were loyalist , the Quakers were pacifistic and some were neutral and didn't take sides
