Just read your home page. I had relatives who fought in the American Revolutionary War -- on both sides. For the loyalists, I think a lot of it had to do with some of them having lots of land that came from the Crown. We can't help what our ancestors were but we can learn from them.
Whether for the Revolution or for the Crown, those who fought in that war were courageous for their cause. You should be proud of your heritage nonetheless for which side your ancestors fought. Thanks for your posts.
