When we look into the history of the United States of America
In 1763, the president declared war on the British to gain liberty and freedom from them. Before then the British treated the USA
During this war there were two sides to the coin. Only some of the American population wanted to attack the British. These people were called Patriots. But over 70,000 of the population then didn’t want to attack, this side were called loyalists. The Patriots despised the loyalists and attacked them many times. Even people who tried to stay neutral were targeted, like Thomas Randolph who was stripped covered in tar and feathers and ridden around town until he decided to leave. These people were all either kicked out of the country or left because of how they were treated.
My question to you is: Do you think that the loyalists got what they deseved?
I believe that the loyalists DIDN'T get what they deserved! So what if we put taxes on everything. This was to help the Thirteen Colonists, like the Stamp Act. Yet they made a boycott of British goods. Even when we put a tax on tea, they duped multiple crates of tea into the harbour.Soon after, they declared war against Britain, after all we tried to help them. Besides, we fought a long war for that land.
