Proud men doing the right thing......I bet they were not called domestic terrorists by the colonists.
I would be proud to serve with these fine gentlemen.

I bet they were not called domestic terrorists by the colonists.

Not all colonists were supportive of a breach from England.
I bet these patriots WERE called the 1700s equivalent of "domestic terrorist" by those who thought their power lay with England.

Makes you wonder where our current crop of traitors (democrat politicians) are getting their power from, huh?

100% never agree.
I believe over 80% of the colonists supported the war.
Of the 20% that were loyal to England......99% of those were the ones employed by England to collect taxes, make laws and keep the peace.....mainly politicians and their paid cronies.......follow the money....as usual.

There's nothing stopping proud men now from working together, peacefully, for change. We need not take up arms to work together and make a difference. Men have faced far greater troubles than ours, and carved their own path to change. People need only put in the work.

80% maybe supported it once it looked like the rebels might win.

When it started out it was a lot lower.

Yep, at the start numbers were pretty much pretty much equal, 33% for, 33% against, 33% undecided. Of course within this three sects are varying degrees and motivations for their reasonings but that is usually how things start our in times of upheaval. The pro-independence numbers actually grew exponentially as times became harsher and the war dragged on.
