I reacted to The American Civil War video by Oversimplified yesterday, you can watch it here! ua-cam.com/video/aDwKD9y1H8E/v-deo.html
Lavish Luka LOL. Jon “Bones” Jones is who came to mind for me too!
Lavish Luka I’m going to see if I can find a good video about America’s seizure of Hawai’i...I think you’d find it to be interesting.
The American colonists were British. Despite what so many people believe, Paul Revere did not call out that the British were coming. He and two others went to warn colonists that the red coats were coming. A lot of colonists were loyal to Britain but weren't willing to pay the taxes and many just stayed out of the conflict altogether.
When I went through school, he(John Paul Jones) was lauded pretty well but not much was made of him. Considering the state of education here in the US, who knows now that education is what it is. Roots was written as fiction. Though the events in the book probably happened to random slaves, the protagonist never really existed.
British Loyalist" cant wrap your head around it? Look at modern day America under trump rule. Half our country cant break their loyalty to someone who is hurting them in every aspect. As an American on behalf of many Americans, WE DONT GET IT EITHER. Our president is an outted sexual predator and half of the women in our country still think hes a decent man, like, wtf!? Humans...they will chose to be subjugated over fears of dying while fighting for something bigger. Its like at its core selfish fam.
"Is John Paul Jones held in high regard in the US?"
Well his body was exhumed from a cemetery in France and escorted back to the US by almost a dozen Navy ships in the early 1900s before being interred in a 21 ton bronze and marble sarcophagus in the crypts of the US Naval Academy in a service overseen by the President of the United States. So yea, he is kind of a big deal.
Yes.
Yes.
Definitely. BTW, he is entombed in the chapel at the Naval Academy, which is one of the most beautiful churches you will find anywhere.
C. Simmons the navy also commissioned the USS John Paul Jones, a guided middle destroyer
He also served the Russian navy i believe
Loyalist is a term for people who lived in the colonies that supported the British.
He didn't know that? They still exist, it's called Northern Ireland lol
"Torrie" also works
There's a lot of Revolutionary Era semantics the guy is not up on. Like how the colonists were technically English, which was why many of them were Tories/Loyalists. And there's also the thing where the colonies were not yet the "United States." But these are things you learn in American public school history, and are probably not taught in state schools in England.
@@davewolf6256 oversimplified got better at making these vids over time by being more detailed; a shame this is one of his earlier ones. he doesn't touch up enough of the nature of the relationship between the british and the colonists omits a few particularly bad grievances like the quartering acts
Back then, most Americans were still very British. They identified as colonialists and were culturally very British.
I don’t like the fact that they don’t even mention the Marquis de Lafayette. He was a major reason why we got so much French support.
Marquis de Lafayette was also General Washington's most trusted advisors and Washington considered him as a son.
They did! They just used his really long name instead of his title.
Technically he's the reason we have a navy.
His grave in France is American soil,Adolf Hitler told his officers and Generals to never touch the grave,because bringing in the US would be suicide
@@beautifulbliss5883 In WW1 when the first US troops showed up in France to join the war , General Pershing famously said "Lafayette, we are here". The us way of returning the favor.
@@yourdroid3373 That was actually said by Colonel Charles E. Stanton while he served at General Pershing’s aide and chief disbursing officer in WWI. Still an awesome quote!
British loyalists were colonists. People didn't really call themselves Americans yet. A common misconception is that Paul Revere road around warning "the British are coming!" He actually said, "the redcoats are coming!" Saying the British are coming would be like me, and American, riding around town yelling "the Americans are coming." That's something a crazy person does.
I laughed at your comment. You're right. He wouldn't have said the British were coming because people would think he was crazy since he was British at the time.
First, the quote was 'The regulars are riding tonight'. Second, it wasn't Paul Revere. Revere certainly started that journey, but he barely rode 200 meters. The one to actually warn Concord was a man by the name of 'Israel Bissel'. Paul Revere became the man credited for it sometime after because 'Gather around and you shall hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere' sounds a whole hell of a lot better than 'Hang on kiddies, I'm gonna whistle while I tell y'all the story of Israel Bissel'. That's a direct quote from something for those who don't know, and those who do can probably supply the source because I forget. Paul Revere was a more marketable name, thus his became the name behind the legend, and the truth was left behind.
The navy doth approacheth!
@@devonm042690 I searched it up with quotes and found this thread on Reddit: www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=www.i.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/5xatva/til_that_paul_revere_did_not_complete_his_famous/%3Flimit%3D500&ved=2ahUKEwi-nKPkyeTsAhVOSq0KHTC8DU0QFjAAegQIBBAC&usg=AOvVaw3XphL7rgmUujTT2fxfqkJF&cshid=1604344782578
@@devonm042690 just like how there was other “presidents” before George Washington
When he says that “literally everyone” wanted Washington to be president he wasn’t joking. Washington literally received 100% of the popular vote in the first election
Yeah almost everyone wanted Washington to be president, but because it was the first election, less than 1,3% of the population voted. In the first 4 US elections, less than 5% of the population voted. What you are saying is absilutely true, but i just find interesting how so few people voted in the elections
Well most people weren't eligible to vote as well
John Orona thank God
There was no popular vote until Jefferson demanded it as a condition of accepting the nomination. Washington and Adams only had the EC vote.
@@mikegnk4994 Can you provide a reference to your claim. The President of the United States are selected by electors. Not a population vote.
"It amazes me that a few months ago people were freezing to death, and now they're dying of heat stroke."
Welcome to New England.
Still to this day, calling someone a Benedict Arnold is synonymous with calling them a traitor.
It is true, yet not as commonly used anymore
@@SilverFang2789 I was about to say lol
"I have not yet begun to fight!" This was the immortal retort of Captain John Paul Jones to a request to surrender as he and his crew engaged in a desperate battle with a British frigate off the northern coast of England during the American Revolution.
That’s metal
I think he means, "This isn't even my final form!"
"Is John Paul Jones known in America?"
I'm thinking to myself "noooo, just know as the father of American Navy. Is posted everywhere in the American naval academy
If you ask people in the U.S. who John Paul Jones was, most wouldn't know
@@ImOutOfMtDew he played pretty sick bass for Led Zeppelin too.
When I hear that name, I think of Led Zeppelin. The unsung hero of the band.
Rick M Maybe, but anyone in America who is interested in history will know who he was.
@@chandlerwhite8302 So like 10 people? Lol
You've entered a rabbit hole for which there is no return. I'm buckled in for the ride boss.
“America” as a nation didn’t exist yet, so the colonists were mostly British subjects so those who didn’t decide to rebel were the “loyalists”
Even though they were on the losing side, thousands of those Hessian mercenaries actually decided to stay in America and settle down! I'm descended from one of them.
Now you know the derogatory term made by Americans, "Benedict Arnold".... Someone who betrayed someone, or something.
Yup, pretty synonymous with 'Judas'
John Paul Jones is held in VERY high esteem for his naval contributions during the American Revolution. Ships have been named after him, and some people consider him to be the father of the American Navy.
While John Paul Jones may be considered the father of the US Navy, the golden boy brave genius was Stephen Decatur. The young man running through the streets of Philadelphia to inform Humphrey in his shipyard of the funding of six frigates eventually ended up being the captain of one of those frigates around 15 years later... Old Ironsides, the USS Constitution...
There was a battle where John Paul Jones' ship was crippled and sinking. As his ship sank, he ordered his men to board the other ship. They captured it, and sailed home on it, as their original ship sank to the bottom. :)
Most badass American besides Washington in this entire war
“Loyalists” were Americans who did NOT support the cause of revolution and were still proud to be British subjects
Fun fact: They actually played a big role in Canadian history, as many of them fled to Upper Canada (Then still a British Colony) after the founding of the US
Yes, it's so interesting. I'm an amateur genealogist and found out that my family was split during the Revolutionary War. My revolutionary side stayed in the U.S. and the loyalist side went north to Canada, where their descendants still live. We've become friends with one distant Canadian relative who is the same age and has the same name as my mom.
Ghoulinaround
Yep it’s super interesting
Technically, Canada is still a British commonwealth.
alot of the southern states were considered to be mostly populated with british loyalists
@MsPorcupinez well that and they weren't a fan of the whole British government promising to free slaves whose masters were sympathetic to the revolution
You should react to the American civil war oversimplified
Yup
Et still mainly sports
Et It’s a reaction channel. I think he just likes learning about the United States history and culture in general.
Et He says it in the video. He likes history and he generally reacts to things in the US so if it’s something he wants to do then I’m all for it.
Et Britain has a hugeeee history with many wars. The revolutionary war is actually a little part man
We were all British citizens so, this war was technically a Civil War, there were two sides one that remained loyal to the Crown they were called Loyalist and the other side was called Rebels or Patriots. Yes, John Paul Jones is great hero in our history. The people of the USA thought of George Washington as a top rated sports person such as Kobe Bryant or like a superhero. He could have easily become a King but he and the Congress didn't want that we just got rid of one King we didn't want another. It was George Washington who came up with Mr. President.
@MetalCrow448 I chose Kobe Bryant because this guy does a lot of reactions to Basketball.
MetalCrow448 he’s putting his celebrity into context relax
They were all rioters and looters. Not heroes.
The difference between a civil war and a revolutionary war is who won.
@@ebogar42 except we had a point for our protesting why should we pay taxes to a government that wont allow us to have a seat in parliament
Always wondered how English people think of the American revolution- this is great.
Honestly I thought they'd call it The American Rebellion
John Paul Jones is considered the father of the US Navy
John Paul Jones is a madman and I love teaching others about him and more people should know his story
“There’s a series in Britain called Roots, I don’t know if they have it in the US”...who’s gonna tell him we were the ones who created it in the 70s? 😂
Loyalists were also called “Torries”, it referred to people who lived in the Colonies but fought for the British.
Chandler White You’re not entirely wrong, but the Tories were actually a political party opposed to the Whigs. There is a whole history to them before and after the revolution.
“There’s a series in the UK called Roots, idk if it’s in the US”
Me, a New Yorker who watched ROOTS in class in 5th grade: 🤔
John Paul Jones invented the US Navy, he’s held in very high regard here
Even to this day in the U.S. if you call someone a "Benedict Arnold," they know exactly what you mean. It's synonymous with traitor.
Fun fact: in the American colonies “Tory” became synonymous with “Loyalist” and “Whig” with “Rebel” because the Tory government in parliament at the time was the party directly levying the taxes and punitive acts against the colonists, while the Whigs, as the major opposition party, were making a big political show of how badly the Tories were bungling the colonial situation to hopefully do better in the next election.
“Tory” remained a serious insult in the US for at least a century thereafter and as a joking insult in some places to this day. Another US political party started using the name “Whig” tho to cash in on that positive association in the public consciousness, which ended up running that goodwill straight into the ground.
"Is John Paul Jones held in high regard in the US?"
Well his body was exhumed from a cemetery in France and escorted back to the US by almost a dozen Navy ships in the early 1900s before being interred in a 21 ton bronze and marble sarcophagus in the crypts of the US Naval Academy in a service overseen by the President of the United States. John paul Jones was also was the United States' first well-known naval commander in the American Revolutionary War. he's also got his own memorial in Washington DC, so yeah, he's kinda a big deal
Almost everyone in American has heard the name John Paul Jones. Many just forgot what he’s famous for.
OH yea THE BASS PLAYER of LED ZEPPELIN
You're one of the few youtubers where I get genuinely hype when I see a new upload
President Teddy Roosevelt went to tremendous lengths to find where John Paul Johns was buried and return him to the states. JP Jones is now known today as one of the best naval captains in American History.
what a lot of people, even Americans don't know or talk about these days, is that only about 1/3 of Americans were for out right breaking from Britain, about 1/3 more absolutely wanted to remain part of Britain and the other 1/3 did not care as long as it didn't effect them.
And even fewer actually fought.
It's still weird hearing Iroquois in videos, tv shows or movies because I'm not used to hearing it because it's not a common tribe or nation known to the rest of America like Navajo, Cherokee, or Cree but the American government is based around the Iroquois government. Also I'm Iroquois.
"I thought we were brothers, man!" I know you were joking, but the history of Europe is one of warfare. It's only since World War II that Europe has been relatively peaceful.
I'd really like to see you react to the Oversimplified videos about the American Civil War. It's a fascinating story, even more interesting (to me) than the American Revolution, and it's still relevant today.
Eastern Europe is the only non peaceful area.
@@kingwolf9447 As I said, it's only since World War II that Europe has been relatively peaceful. Before then there were lots of wars, not just in eastern Europe, but in countries like Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, Finland, Greece, Italy, Sweden. . .
@@Jeff_Lichtman I wasn't disagreeing with you...
Knowing how much of a rough go of it you’ve had this year, it’s so good to see you laughing!!!
America loves you. 🇺🇸🥰🇬🇧🤘🏻😁
This is about the tenth different reaction to this I've watched and it is the first time I ever noticed the horse falling out of Washington's boat while crossing the Delaware.
One of the reason there were loyalists is because British rule wasn’t really that bad. The colonial tax rates were among the lowest in the world while the colonies has some of the highest standards of living in the world as well.
That being said, the issue was mostly about representation.
"British loyalist" is inaccurate. At the time EVERYONE IN AMERICA considered themselves British. They were British citizens fighting against the government for what they considered to be British rights. It is more accurate to say they were loyal to the king. Many of them in fact referred to themselves as... "Friends of Government."
I doubt all of them were British since Spain, France, Portugal, and other European countries had their way with the Americas.
Till this day we refer to people who betray us as "Benedict Arnold".
"Tricking someone to fight for you" Man, have you ever heard of the RAF 303 Fighter Squadron? Made up mostly of Polish pilots, fighting in the Battle of Britain and beyond. They fought against the Nazi's and then when the war ended, the USSR had brutally occupied Poland, the UK government refused to allow the pilots to live in England and forced them back to Poland only to live under the iron fist of Stalin. There's a Netflix film called 'Hurricane' that is worth watching based on the story.
Watch the movie "the patriot" with mel gibson. I feel that explains the British loyalists well.
“The British were drinking cider and partying hard.” I’m done 🤣🤣
3:58 bear in mind that there was a period where the revolutionaries couldn’t even agree whether they wanted independence or representation in British parliament, it’s unsurprising that there are people like “Woah, this whole independence thing sounds kinda crazy to me” add in the people who were generally just fine to go about their day and you’ve got the “loyalists”.
Gotta remember that uniforms of the day were mostly wool. So in cold temps you freeze and in hot temps you melt.
The civil war video is definately the best in my opinion
You should react to The American Civil War Oversimplified
@NKJVR He hadn't yet when I commented this a month ago :)
“How the universe is way bigger than you think” great video
Yeees!!
John Paul Jones is a legend in the US Navy, and all sailors learn about him.
During a naval battle, his ship was sinking and the British captain yelled "Do you strike your colors?" (Meaning do you surrender) and his famous reply was "I have not yet begun to fight!"
Him and his crew abandoned their sinking ship and assaulted the British ship in melee, winning the battle and stealing the new ship.
Def do Civil War. Brits pick the wrong side in that one too.
@pushbak the Brits didn't even get involved in the US Civil War. The sent some emissaries to the Confederacy but that was all they did.
@@jeffburnham6611 Yes, I know but they legally recognized the Confederacy's status & there was support from Brits, especially private business.
pushpak
Yes but not by most of the common folk up in the north
everyone in america was british because they were colonies of britain. However some people sided with the british so they were ridiculed and exiled by the rebels
Greyson Nealy Yeah, many people in America at this time thought of themselves as British citizens.
Not everyone. Many. Probably most. But there were plenty of Dutch, Swedish, and French immigrants. I’ve done my family history. 👍👍
@@maciedixon3983 Germans too - mine were German, Dutch, English and Irish living in the Colonies at the time of the Revolution.
@@susanmaggiora4800 Subjects. British subjects weren't made citizens until 1949, and even up to 1870 natural-born subjects were in fealty to the crown in perpetuity... whether they liked it or not.
Living in the United States, I heard in many of my history classes that the American Revolution was the birth of our nation, how the fate of the colonies hung in the balance and it's one of the most significant events in US history. It's interesting to see how people from other countries view it, especially people in the UK.
It's also interesting how things change over time. The US and UK were bitter enemies in the 1700s and early 1800s, but eventually became close allies in the 20th century.
I remember being in awe of John Paul Jones when I was in grade school. So freaking bad ass. And don't laugh about learning where to poop. That's how we lost a ton of soldiers at the beginning of the war. Disease is the ultimate killer.

"Name the most American thing you can think of." Guns.... lots of guns!
I said football 🏈
I'm actually really intristed into talking to British pepole about this. I always love seeing diffrent perspective to things.

For anyone who doesn't know: the World Series is called that because in the 1880's, it was sponsored by a newspaper called "The World". When the two leagues combined, they kept it. It has nothing to do with other nations.
Wow. Thank you for that. I'm an American with friends all over the world on every continent, and the one thing they all have in common is they like to make fun of the US for calling its baseball championship "World Series" when it's not really the whole world. Now I know what to tell them when they start making fun!
@@LukeAdamMiller tbh, I find it annoying that so many people in the international community would rather rag on something instead of taking two minutes out of their lives and searching for the answer on the internet. It isn't top secret.
"I thought we were brothers, man." Well, Britain had been enemies with France for centuries, and had had a war with the Spanish before. As a brit, I advise the UK to stay humble. We have a lot to be embarrassed about.
" i don't know what would have happened if the British won..." UMMM...hello!? Canada!!!
Yup, it would probably be very similar to today but with with better healthcare.
"I thought we were brothers"
Nah Europe hated you guys back then cause you had yours fingers in everything
John Paul Jones is a g’damn legend in US Naval history. The USS John Paul Jones (DDG-53), an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer commissioned in 1993, bears his name. The ship is currently in service with her home port being Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The ships motto is fittingly: “In Harms Way.”
Not all Americans are afforded the best primary education, but in California my public school teachers recognized I had a passion for US military history and made accommodations in their lesson plan for myself and others to keep us interested. I can still recall the class vividly and how enthralled I was with learning more about this man.
Fin fact: "Bloody Tarlton" (which is what I was taught to call him) is used as an example for the bad guy in The Patriot...although greatly exaggerated that movie shows well what that awful man did.
I mean technically a lot of the “Americans” were actually British. Remember, there weren’t any white people in North America until the euros showed up and stayed. That’s where the whole “we defended you now we need money comes from” French and broths fought for control, Brits won and thus the British colonies. Eventually those brits had kids which were “amaricans” then you get all of this tension with the taxes and so you have born Americans and brits who’ve now lived there and consider themselves American fighting for independence. So TECHNICALLY it’s a civil war, British colonies fighting against the big land for right to be their own
John Paul johns is also a member of led Zepplin
Also benjamin franklin was the one who discovered electricity with a kite and a key and lightning from a thunderstorm which was the kite joke with the ladies in the video
Luka, to answer questions:
1)"Loyalists"-Meaning, "loyal to the king." To explain, by July 1776, the inhabitants of the Thirteen Colonies were 1/3 loyal to George, 1/3 rebels, and 1/3 neutral. You have to remember that colonial governors directly reported to the king (the same was true in the Caribbean as well.) There was no MP to complain to.
Those who were fewer generations removed from the British Isles (excluding Ireland, of course) were more likely to see the rebels as terrorists and troublemakers. It did not occur to them that they were never going to get a fair shake from London. They wanted to stay in the Empire. In fact, many joined the King's Army. Others were stoolies spying on their own neighbors and family.
2) Heatstroke: Yep, yep, that happened. Wool as a material works nicely for EUROPE'S climate. It was revered for its durability. However, uhh, in a place that is 30ºC in summer, it is HIDEOUS. And alas, that was the standard issue.
3)Peggy Shippen: she's a whore. Remember that. To Americans, she was a whore. Down with Peggy!! As for Benedict Arnold, his name is a byword for treason even to this day. A lesser known fact is that Thomas Jefferson was in charge of Richmond that day and had to run for his life. It haunted him for the rest of his life, politically. (People called T Jefferson a coward. A bigger truth is that if he had been captured, boy or boy, London would've made an example of him. One of the complaints of the Declaration of Independence was trying soldiers for crimes in London instead of locally. No witnesses, no crime. He would have been hung at Tyburn if they caught him.)
Arnold was a ruthless opportunist-that is something not covered in the video. He chose fortune and glory over steadfastness. And Peggy Shippen, at least according to a few authors, knew more than her prayers when she met Benedict Arnold, 20 years her senior. (She may have gotten on her back for British officers, Andre included, sampling the sausage, so to speak. She was on the marriage market.) Soo, generally speaking, in addition to his frustration of not being promoted over men he thought inferior to him, uhh, Benedict Arnold was seduced by a set of double D's and was schtupping Peggy. This is why she is a whore.
I'm sure you have seen it but "history of the world, I guess" if you haven't
Watch the HBO show John Adams it's great and explains a lot of this.
That was great.
Roots was a very famous American docu-series you could call it. I remember watching it with my parents when a teen and I was horrified and how the slaves were treated.
For those wondering, the video in several spots points to a place in what is now Maine and refers to it as Massachusetts. This is because Maine was part of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts until 1820, when it was admitted as a state as part of the Missouri compromise.

Not in the long run
I thought it was the French who won ?
There’s still millions of slaves to this day
over simplified french revolution is really good
My mother-in-law was Canadian. Her ancestors were loyalists. They moved from New York City to Canada in the 1770's . They remained loyal to the crown even after Canada became a sovereign nation.
I hope u watch the civil war one u can see the war and still see how it heavy tension in the us till this day
For new englanders that know history, YES we know John Paul Jones, although modern generation doesn't talk much about history unfortunately....
As a case in point of history, my brother went to Nathaniel Greene Elementary School
It's super interesting to see the reaction to these videos from the perspective of someone from the U.K.
John Paul Jones is still one of my favorite. He was a bad ass and deserves more historical recognition.
I notice that your not just reacting to sports anymore, so you could watch the history of the world I guess by bill wurtz
My grandfather was stationed on a ship that was part of the delegation to bring John Paul Jones' body back to the USA. He had told me the story, but when I started researching my ancestry, had contacted the CMOH for info on one of his shipmates, who received the CMOH for bravery during a fire in the boiler room. I mentioned the JPJ story and she confirmed it was true.
Alex Haley is the American author of the book, Roots, that the mini-series was based on. One of LeVar Burton's (Star Trek TNG's Geordi LaForge) first roles.
react to American civil war plz u need to learn about Lincoln and his cheekbones
4:35 I grew up in Bennington; which is actually in VT, while the battle took place in NY. The Bennington Battle Monument is the largest structure (that can be occupied) in VT at a whopping 306 feet. Vermont. So quaint.
A couple of notes about the uniforms and their affect on the war:
The uniforms of both sides were made of wool, which is one of the factors to armies losing soldiers to heat exhaustion during the summer months.
The rebels (they weren't calling themselves Americans yet) wore just what they had lying around in the beginning, then the uniform of the militia or area they were from, which could lead to confusion during a battle when the whole battlefield is covered in thick smoke from all the rifles being fired. The French helped by providing blue uniforms to the rebels so they could tell the difference between friend and foe much easier in battle and look more like one large army instead of a lot of small militias. That's why in today's U.S. Army, our finest dress uniform is called "dress blues", with dark blue on top and light blue on the bottom. (I served in the U.S. Army in the late 90's, and you're taught the basic history of the Army along with marksmanship while in basic training.)
John Paul Jones is the father of the modern Navy. His resting place in Annapolis, MD is crypt. In the Navy, JPJ is quoted regularly and is considered one of the greatest naval officers to ever exist.
I love that you are expanding what you react to
BTW, one of my ancestors, William Harvey, lead Washington's army out of Chadd's Ford at the Battle of the Brandywine. It was the biggest battle between the Brits and Yanks in the Revolution. It was also the first battle where American troops marched in carrying the Stars and Stripes. Washington lost the battle that day and nearly lost the war.
This is a great series. They did a good job. Well done review.
The slave shown at 10:08 was William Lee and was Washington’s personal assistant and was always by his side and was the only slave Washington freed
Everyone was from Britain. 1/3 fought for the rebels, 1/3 fought for the British and 1/3 tried to stay neutral.
If you ever wanna learn more about this time period in the US, check out the show Liberty's Kids. It's a show I watched every Wednesday in 5th grade and it's really informational
John Paul Jones was a maniac and we love him, yeah.
Benedict Arnold's name is synonymous with traitor in the US much as Vidkun Quisling is regarded in Norway. Or the way Guy Fawkes used to be regarded in the UK.
Roots was an American tv multi-part drama and then exported to elsewhere. Based on a book by American Alex Haley.
We had another war with England called the war of 1812. War of 1812 was known as the sailors rights war as the British navy was boarding American ships and forcing Americans to serve the British navy, they were pressed into service.
From freezing to heatstroke!
Welcome to New Jersey!

As a Canadian our country really came into existence as a country because of the Loyalists. It is where a large part of our population came from.
