Jefferson, Franklin, and Adams went to get help and money for the revolution in France. For a time Adams and Jefferson roomed together. Adams writes in his letters that Jefferson had book piled all over the room ( he bought and shipped 2,000 books back ) and it annoyed Adams that Jefferson did this. It also annoyed Adams that Franklin was so popular, refused to learn French, and partied.

How could American Patriots accuse Lord Dunmore of being unfair?

American Patriots accused Lord Dunmore, the royal governor of Virginia, of being unfair due to his actions that seemed to favor British interests over colonial rights. His decision to issue a proclamation in 1775 offering freedom to enslaved individuals who would fight for the British undermined the Patriots' cause and was seen as an attempt to incite unrest among enslaved populations. Additionally, his military actions and the use of force against colonial militias further fueled resentment, leading Patriots to view him as a tyrant actively working against their pursuit of liberty and self-governance.


Why are loyalists called loyalists?

In the Revolutionary War and the days leading up to it, the peoples living in the united colonies were divided in two kinds of people; the ones who were angry at Britain and those who were happy with the affairs of their mother country. The individuals whom were content with the actions of Britain were considered to be Loyalists as opposed to the ones who wished to rebel against the empire of Britain and break free to become their own sovereign nation. The loyalists may not have necessarily agreed with the policies set down by the Crown of Britain but found no reason enough to justify entering into a war with such a powerful nation. Rather than fight the mother country they remained loyal to Britain and were thus coined "Loyalists". If you did not rebel or revolt than you were obviously loyal to the crown. So basically loyalists were the people who stayed loyal to the empire of Britain and Patriots were the opposite. Patriots were the people who rebel against their mother country.
