    Charles Inglis: A Loyalist In Colonial North America

    I, Charles Inglis, have grown to be a loyalist in colonial North America. I was born 1734, in the Republic of Ireland. I was given a private education and due to my father’s death, I was never able to attend a University. During my twenties, I moved to America. After teaching nearby at a church in Lancaster, PA I earned my rights in England to work at higher levels in the church. By 1758 I was an ordained deacon, assisted the bishop and returned to America. I became very fond of the Trinity Church located in New York. I was very eager to promote my ideas although not all were accepted by the people. For example, “the creation of colonial bishoprics”.…

    Why Did Loyalists Support The American Revolution?

    The main loyalists came from what is now known to be Canada in 1783 and 1784. Most of coastal Nova Scotia received Loyalist settlers, as did Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island then called St. John's Island. The loyalists like me had to decide to support the American Revolution. Colonists for independence from England were named or called revolutionaries or whigs. But some Americans thought that to break away from the British government would not be right, they usually were called loyalists or tories.…

    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…

    Great Britain's Involvement In The American Civil War

    The American people though viewed the British neutrality with extreme resentment. The resentment was unjustified because the Northern and southern people felt it in equal degree, both feeling convinced that they were the correct side and that it was evil for the British not to act on that assumption. The people from North felt that the American nationality was at stake while others felt the importance of giving their whole sympathies to the eradication of slave trade. The Southern people thought they were fighting for political freedom which was appealed by many Britons. The Southerners believed that slavery was sanctioned by the scriptures and majority of the preferred the perfect contentment of slaves rather than the horrific abuses by the whole system.…

    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…

    Scottish Reformation

    The 16th century was the age of the European Reformation: a religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics which divided Western Europe for over 150 years, and continues to do so until this day in certain areas. Religion was important to Scots in the 16th century. Socially, the Church was crucial to everyday life. It was responsible for education, health, welfare and discipline. It was also very important on an individual level. The Church was the vehicle for expressing inner spirituality and changes to its forms of worship could endanger your chances of salvation. In other words, your future in either Heaven or Hell was at stake. The Reformation split the Church into Catholic and Protestant factions, creating two roads to salvation - both of which claimed to be true. So it was very important to people that the Scottish state chose to travel down the right road. By 1560 the majority of the nobility supported the rebellion; a provisional government was established, the Scottish Parliament renounced the Pope's authority, and the mass was declared illegal. Scotland had officially become a Protestant country. In 1561 the unexpected return of Mary, Queen of Scots re-ignited the whole issue. It seemed that power wouldn't change hands so easily and that Scotland would have to sail the troubled waters of the Reformation for a while yet.…

    American Revolution: Similarities Between The Loyalists And The Patriots

    On the onset of the American Revolution, colonials who were zealous of the British crown and colonists who defied and openly rebelled against Great Britain shared similarities in upbringings but differed in beliefs of what a true American represented. On the brink of war with Britain, colonists began to diverge and separate themselves according to which side they believed they were most devoted to. Colonials had to define themselves as either Loyalists to a distant king or Patriots to the land they lived in and loved.…
