The details regarding what followed have always been the source of debate, but that evening, a group of Bostonians approached a guard in front of the customs house and started taunting him. The situation quickly escalated. When a contingent of British redcoats came to the defense of their fellow soldier, more angry Bostonians joined the fracas, throwing snowballs and other items at the troops.…
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…
This was later called the Boston Massacre. When the brothers heard the news of their friend’s death they got into an argument. Mason yelled at Liam for still supporting England after their friend, who was pretty much a brother to them, got assassinated by one of the soldiers. Liam yelled back that the colony isn’t ready for independence and that although he was saddened about how his best friend dying, he still is right. Mason got frustrated with his brother so much that he just went and did many reckless decisions with his friend Samuel…
In this film there are shown two sides of the American Revolution. The Americans and the Britishers had equally contributed to the American Revolution. My understanding of the American Revolution was limited to the disturbance created by the British troops, but after viewing this film my understanding has extended to believe that colonists had triggered these reactions from British Parliament. The Stamp Act, a decision made by British Parliament, was to impose taxes on the colonies in order to gain more money, because England was in need for it. The Americans viewed this as British Parliament obtaining their power over American’s liberty (“Boston, Bloody Boston: The Revolution”). My understanding of American revolution was limited to the Boston…
On the night of March 5th, 1770 in the city of Boston, a group of colonists crowded around armed British guards. At first they yelled insults such as calling them “lobsterbacks” and “bloodyback”, referring to their red uniforms. Other soldiers and townspeople mustered towards the yelling, causing chaos. The British soldiers fired their muskets into the crowd, killing five people.…
When the American colonies were under British control, many people realized how unfairly they were being treated. Colonists had no say in any of Parliament’s decisions. While some colonists were very upset about this, others simply sat back remained loyal to the king. These people were known as Loyalists. The colonists who became fired up when their rights were taken away were called Patriots. Since they fought for freedom, glory, and the end of colonies’ suffering, colonists should have joined the Patriot side.…
Once the Declaration of Independence was created the colonies immediately split in to two groups, Patriots and Loyalist. Loyalists made up 30% to 50% of the population in the colonies. This percentage was made up of farmers, poor settlers, rich merchants, and immigrants who trusted the British government would still protect them. In Brave Enemies, this is shown through brief occurrences of Patriots torturing, raping, burning, hanging, and humiliating Loyalists. The Loyalists did the same to the Patriots. One scene in Brave Enemies shows a group of men covering an old woman in hot tar and dumping feathers on her and letting her run back to her home.…
That is why we did not support the Revolution. When the war was going on some of the loyalists decided to leave, I was one of those families. After Yorktown the British were left in control of only one significant stronghold, which was New York…
Has someone ever shot you for throwing a snowball at them? That actually happened, and it made some people very mad. In the revolutionary war, there were two sides in the colonies, Patriots, and Loyalists. Patriots wanted to separate from Britain and Loyalists wanted to stay loyal to Britain. You should be a patriot because the British took away our rights, taxed us, and didn’t protect us.…
In the 1760s, many Loyalists had supported American defiance but drew back at the view of independence and war. Rich Loyalists’ property was seized and auctioned. Many Loyalists were exiled from the U.S. or emigrated voluntarily instead of living in an independent U.S. However, in the Treaty of Paris of 1783 Americans promised to end the harassment of Loyalists by state and local governments and to return land that was confiscated. Loyalists were rapidly accepted into American society, but even with the promise of the Treaty of Paris, confiscated Loyalist territory was not given back to…
Aside from their differences, the Loyalists and the Patriots shared many similarities with one another. Both the Loyalists and the Patriots were culturally identical due to the fact that the majority of the colonists shared the same language, heritage, customs and religion. Both factions were descendants from similar socio-economic groups that came from Europe with aspirations to wield freedoms that were not previously allotted to them. During the war, African Americans who were slaves joined both groups because of the promise of freedom in exchange of military service. In addition, both the Loyalists and the Patriots were grateful for the land that they owned and enjoyed the same colonial rights. Furthermore, both groups believed that the decisions made by King George III and…
