What percentage of Colonists fought the British?
Excellent point !!!
About the same amount.
My great x4 grandfather and his 4 brothers did (more than any family in his county)- after hearing Patrick Henry’s speech in St. John’s church - they lived not far from him in Hanover County, VA - I have a copy of his 1832 Revolutionary War Pension Application where he explains it all.
I was born in FL, grew up in Indiana, lived all over the country - and only found this out 3 years after I moved within 20 miles of where he lived.....I just “came home....”
