Explain what types of Americans chose to remain Loyalists during the Revolution, and why. Discuss the treatment Loyalists received during the war and whether such treatment was fair or appropriate
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: In addition to many blacks and Native Americans, other groups with a special incentive for Loyalism included ethnic minorities, royal appointees, Anglican clergymen, and many members of the upper classes who benefited from the status quo. Loyalists were ostracized, had their property confiscated, and lost political rights and protection. Students should address the question of governmental balance between individual liberty and public security in discussion of the treatment of Loyalists.
