After the Declaration of Independence, Loyalists and Patriots were more sharply divided, and Patriots often confiscated Loyalist property and resell it (good way to raise money).…

American history has traditionally considered loyalists as traitors and American patriots as heroes during American Revolutionary War. As the history had written, loyalists or “Tories” as their opponents called them, were traitors during American Revolutionary War. However, is it moral when American patriots called those people are traitors while they betrayed the people who first discovered America, which is the British? This essay will focus on connection between loyalist and traitor; the essay will first define the meaning of loyalist and traitor during American Revolutionary War and thereafter will compare a contrast with Joseph Brant and Benedict Arnold.…
While the Revolution was a war for freedom, some people favored the British rule and King. These were English, German, and Dutch people mainly, and they remained loyal to the King of England and so were called Loyalists. But they were considered traitors to revolutionary-minded people, and their property was taken from them or destroyed and many were…
The conservative Loyalists had strong intentions of remaining patriotic to Great Britain, but not to the land in which they lived in. The Loyalists faction typically consisted of traditional colonists, government officials and Anglican clergymen who were taught fidelity to the crown. The majority of Loyalists during the war tended to be wealthier than the American Patriots; thus, they considered themselves to be more civilized than the average colonists and doubted amateur American…
Other people thought it would be dangerous to be separated from the British due to the cultural and family ties they had in Britain. Also they were nervous that if they separated they would cause a war with Britain that they wouldn’t be able to win. The people who wanted to stay loyal to Great Britain were called Loyalist. Fear and…
The English strategy for colonies was to create a very tight knit group of people to survive in a place where it would take years for any help to come. They didn't even have anything to get back to England. They all voluntarily came there. They were supposed to treat each other with "kindness and patience" make America seem amazing in every way. Like it just made people nice and productive. That was supposed to make other people want to come there. That strategy was also supposed to make people want to be like the city on the hill. In other words they wanted people to be like the best city. That was just little bit so that the people sending the colonists would make money but it was also to make sure the colonies survived and were easy…

The American Revolution (A.R.) and the Reconstruction were difficult at the time, yet worth the obstacles. In a few ways they were similar, but they still maintain their differences. To put it into perspective, the Reconstruction was like an “American Revolution 2.0.” Not to say that Reconstruction was better than the A.R., but it is the same car but a newer, more modern model. It is almost the same story with different characters.…
First off, a big historical truth in the movie the Patriot is the social and the slave life in the southern colonies. The plantation owners or people that had multiple slaves ruled the south and if you didn’t rule in the south then you struggled. In the south you were either are a wealthy rich plantation…
After reading about the Loyalist by Loyalists themselves I figured it was an inequitable battle between the Loyalist and the American people. The Loyalist had to fight against the Patriots on American territory. Also, the Loyalist had limited help because the British army wasn't always around to help out. The Loyalist was tortured and killed, they were hung, tarred, feathered, whipped, and etc. The Patriots didn't care if you are a politician or a regular person the price for betraying your country were endless. It's gotten so debauched that people had to live on the street because the Patriots burn their house and had their land taken away. If the Loyalist didn't have to go through so much torment a lot more people would have joined the…
There were many factors that the colonists made when picking a side, some of the colonist were force to choose sides, changed their minds or switched sides and pick a side that benefits them and their self-interest. The American allied with France since France lost like four wars to British, so they contributed and joined an alliance. I believe it was a personal motive which is why they alliance and negotiated deals. The patriots wanted to elect their own government and the loyalists are those who supported British. The patriots supported independent because they feel British violated their rights as British citizens.…
The Civil War was one of the bloodiest wars fought by the Unites Sates of America. The Civil war was fought in the South, known as the Confederate Sates, and the North, the Union. The North’s and the South’s differences were based on slavery. Southerners had an agricultural way of life, using slaves as farm tools. The use of slaves in the South was common and considered essential for a farm. But the North opposed to the South’s ways. They believed it was inhumane to use someone for free labor, despite their long, hard working hours. Finally the South was fed up and seceded, calling for war. The war, although, did not happen over night. A series of existential threats had built up and had finally exploded. Four of the major threats were the…
okay cause they didn’t support them which is disturbingly selfish and selfless. Sometimes the loyalists houses and properties were burned up/taken away. There was sticky tar placed on their skin and feathers stuck on them and that would suffocate them to death. Patriots felt as if the British Parliament had no rights or say on how to spend taxes.…
derived from, and in defense of one minority group. As the Colonists built their own societies and settlements in the New America, issues of contentions arose separating themselves from the rest of the British empire. The Revolution became a fight for themselves and their well being not the well being of anyone else. As ideas of Civil War arose around 1860-1861 the cause was for the black minority although not yet announced by Abraham Lincoln. Both the American Revolution and Civil War were powered through the desires of one minority group to rise up and fight against the traditional normalities.…
