The French Revolution caused the American public to take sides between Great Britain and France, when war broke out between those two nations. The official government policy was to remain neutral. The British enforced their navigation laws which hindered American merchants from trading with French colonies in the West Indies and other areas. During the early 1790s, the British seized 600 American vessels claiming they were in violation of British maritime laws. Impressment by the British Navy caused much concern in the US. Americans often were taken off American ships and forced to serve in the British Navy. The British claimed many were British deserters. In the Northwest Territories, and other western lands, Americans were demanding protection from the Indians. Many Americans desired to move west and the need for protection and a national roadway became evident. MrV

∙ 9y agoDuring the 1790s in Colonial America, communication and transportation difficulties faced by the American government (and Americans in general) were tremendous. Road conditions were generally poor, with most road-surfaces subject to impairment in inclement (especially rainy or wintry) weather. At the same time, long-distance communication was slow, due to the necessity of sending correspondence by land or, what was almost as laborious, by sea.

Well according to my studies the 3 major difficulties the loyalists families had faced would be the french civil law, church support and the government. As for the french civil law the people had to buy land under the seigneurial system which meant leasing the land from the crown. You couldn't make profit from selling the land but you could live of it. The church support (tithe) is for those that are catholic. They had to pay 10% of their earnings to their local church and if they refused they would go to jail. As for the last one to pass laws the government would pass laws instead of doing elections.
