    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 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.…

    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…

    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…
