No strawman at all. You mentioned the “Colonial population,” and that was the basis for my comment: 1/3 were loyal to the king; 1/3 supported independence; and 1/3 were fence-sitters. I was not challenging what you said about 3% actually fighting.
But, you got a burr up your butt and rushed to judgment.
