An Inequitable Battle Of The Loyalists
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

    In the text on page 31 it states, “You've come home to fight us who strive for freedom and liberty.” all the work on the ship stopped. The air had suddenly grown warm. I glanced sideways. The soldiers guarding the crates had picked up their guns.” This furthermore proves how the subject could create small squabbles among those who were on opposite side or were believed to be on the opposing side. Many people whether they be on the Rebels or the Loyalist side just fought for what they wanted never hearing out the other side to try and come up with a peaceful resolution but instead they caused battles that made both of the side lose more blood.…

    The patriots would probably despise that they came to the colonies. So, the patriot’s kind of called them names and things like that. Things really happened when the patriots started throwing rocks and ice at the loyalist windows but then again, they were only doing it because they were mad that they were there. The patriots thought that the loyalists were trying to make the government to follow them and pay taxes to the British, and who wouldn’t think that at that time. Then the soldiers came out and one of the patriots pushed one of the…

    The French and Indian war is for the seven year war. The war was from 1754-1763. It was the North American conflict between Great Britain and France. General Edward Braddock, who was sent by the British government, was the commander in chief of the British North Americans forces. However, the Indian allies and colonial leaders didn't not want to work with him. Edward Braddock died in an ambush on July 13, 1755.

    Was it the weaknesses of the Royalists or the strength of their opponents which best explains the outcome of the First Civil by 1646There are several key factors determining why the royalists lost the English civil war in the years 1642 - 1646. The factors that caused their defeat were Cromwell 's talent for warfare and how he displayed it on the battlefield. The factions of the royalist command structure tearing the royalist campaign in two. The formation of the New Model Army. King Charles alienating many possible supporters of him with his decisions leading up to and including the civil war. Propaganda helping the parliamentarian cause during the English civil war. The affect of dual roles as King and Commander in Chief of Royalist forces upon King CharlesThe Formation of the New Model ArmyNeither side really had an advantage when it came to experienced soldiers in the country and both sides were initially commanded by men who gained their rank to their status in society rather than military ability. The New model army was now well organised on a sound basis, drilled, disciplined and administrated in uniform fashion, in complete contrast of a few years ago to the 'Ad Hoc ' (before the English Civil war the army was formed when a problem arose then immediately disbanded when the problem dissolved) arrangements that English armies had before the New Model Armies creation. Throughout March and April 1645 at Windsor the work began on training, preparing and equipping this new and improved Parliamentarian army. At the beginning of May 1645 the army left Windsor to meet the king 's forces in battle. The training had paid off as parliament crushed the king 's forces at Naseby. It differed from other armies in the same conflict in that it was intended as an army capable of deployment anywhere in the country, rather than being tied to a single area or garrison. As such, its soldiers became full-time professionals, rather than part-time militia. Furthermore, its officers…

    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.…

    Did you know that the Revolutionary War is like a parent and child fighting? The Americans (the child) are fighting the British(the parent) and the British keep giving them punishments like more tax. By December, 1777 over 1800 soldiers had died and by March, over 900 more soldiers had died. That means a total of over 2700 soldiers died in all, that is quite a bit of soldiers dying! The colonists did not even have good clothes or shoes and became very sick. I have decided not to reenlist for many reasons, but the main ones are bad conditions, death and illness, and the terrible way the huts are made.…
