@monarchism Food for thought on what happened to the loyalists who did not believe in defection . Most treated horribly. Some left detailed accounts. reading up on Jonathan Boucher, who wrote a history of the American revolution after fleeing to britain "The downfall of the ancient monarchies were not wholly inadequate to the event...But there was no such concurrence of adequate causes to produce the defection of America" Remember there are two sides to every story. The winners write the history
