Patriots and Loyalists
J-713F


     

By some estimates, as many as one-third of all American colonists remained loyal to Britain during America’s struggle for independence. Some Loyalists (or Tories as they were called by the Revolutionaries) sought refuge from Patriot wrath by fleeing to Canada or England; those who remained faced reprisals, punitive laws, and even confiscation of their property. Immerse your students in the difficult and dangerous life of the Loyalists with this rich assortment of primary source documents, ranging from official government proclamations and acts to broadsides, song lyrics, and political cartoons. Historian: Richard Pandich. The contents of this Jackdaw feature:
