A country that used to be a colony of England fought for and eventually won its independence. The indigenous population of the country felt underrepresented within the government and felt they were being oppressed. Consequently they eventually decided it was time for the British imperialists to leave their land. Does this situation sound familiar? It should; it is a basic description of the American Revolution. It is less known that these statements also fit the description of the Kenyan independence
Historians concerned with American Loyalists during the second half of the eighteenth century have produced two brands of scholarship that encompass the broad, disjointed Loyalist narrative. The first juxtaposes the Loyalists in America with the Patriot rebels within the framework of numerous burgeoning American movements increasingly bent on the separation of certain areas from the British Empire and the removal of their communities from the dominion of British Parliament and the Crown. This particular
In the 1607, Great Britain started to form colonies in the new world present-day Jamestown Virginia. The British made 13 colonies in the new world that depended on resources by the 1700’s. The French and Indian War happened in the 1754-1763. Loyalist like me wanted to be a part of Great Britain while the patriots wanted independence.

Different Beliefs of the Nationalists and Loyalists There are many reasons why Nationalists and Loyalist are unable to live in the same state. Most of these reasons are based on their two different beliefs, religious and other. The majority of Nationalists are Catholic and believe that Ireland should have an all-Irish republic. Their plans are to create an all Ireland nation and break the relations Ireland have with the United Kingdom. Groups within Ireland such as the IRA support these
Revolutionary Ideas: Patriots vs. Loyalists In early America, there were three factions that developed within the colonies- Loyalists, Patriots, and fence-sitters (neutral). This melting pot of different ideas, goals, and outlooks is what made pre-Revolutionary War America so volatile. These three factions seem easy to identify, Patriots wanted freedom from the crown all together, Loyalists want to stay British, and fence-sitters want to stay out of the political battle all together. However, it

Loyalists were American colonists of various and diverse ethnicities who battled on the side of the British during the American Revolution. They had a tremendous impact on the expansion of Canada since thousands of loyalists emigrated to Canada after the American Revolution. Without the loyalists, Canada would be eminently tinier and would most likely have a different judicial procedure, government and economy. Why did they choose to become loyalists? One of the primary reasons people chose to

and the pursuit of happiness. According to Elizabeth Mancke, this Canadian political culture comes from the Loyalists of the British crown who emigrated to Canada in the eighteenth century, fleeing American independence.

John Grave Simcoe and his legacy will certainly be remembered. Although the American Revolution obviously had an impact on the American colonies, it can also be said that due to the war, a nation up north was created; Canada. The settlement of the Loyalist after their exile made a nation who relied on neutrality rather than war. Some can argue that the very neutrality gives Canada its unique attitude. The settlement also brought forth a new culture specific to this new nation. With the help of the
There were the patriots that were led by Colonel Campbell and the Tories (or loyalists) led by Major Ferguson. The important thing to understand is how the two different sides can differ so much if they are both American. The patriots are what you call the “hardcore” activists for America. The Loyalists were American citizens, but during the American Revolution they took sides with Britain to be safe. In the end, the loyalists were wrong and America pulled through. The battle took place on October 7
