Why should you be an loyalist?
It's a little late to decide that, isn't it? There haven't been either Patriots or Loyalists since the end of the Revolution in the 1780s. If I lieved at that time, I might be a Loyalist if I wanted to remain part of the British Empire and I would be a Patriot if I didn't.

Why did the loyalists leave the colonies for Canada?
They loyalists were largely persecuted by the "Sons of Liberty" during the beginnings and during the Revolutionary War. Their allegiance to the Crown and British Government was targeted by rioters and assemblies of citizens protesting the Kings policies towards the colonies. After the war ended, the British Soldiers took as many loyalists as they could with them to Canada. If they would have stayed, some might have been executed for treason by the unruly crowds.
What was the purpose of the Committees of Correspandence?
The purpose was to start a way to send information easier through out the colonies of early America. A group of officials, or delegates, from each colony came to meet and form the Committees of Correspondence. In this organization, delegates wrote letters and sent them to the other colonies on horseback so the information traveled around the colonies faster. Why should they do this? They did this because information about what the British was doing could travel to the other colonies fast. This way if the British were doing bad things the other colonies knew about it and could tell everyone in the colonies what the British were doing and that the colonies should unite and be independent. The loyalists, the colonists loyal to the king of England, could then decide to become patriots, the colonists wanting independence. The delegates hoped that sending information to the other colonies would lead loyalists into changing sides and supporting freedom for the colonies. The Committees of Correspondence either worked or did not work, I do not know, but i do know that the information did travel fast but it might not have worked with the loyalists. Hope you understand now.
What would have happened if the loyalists weren't loyalists?
Loyalists would then become either Patriots or they might not even bother to be on any side. This would defiantly make a big difference in the war. The Americans then would have more people to join their army in the fight against the British.
Did the American Patriots fight each other in the war?
NO, they didnt but some called loyalists who where loyal to the British might have attacked the patriots.
