King George III had tyrannical control over the Thirteen Colonies due to being a direct Crown colony, but he helped the Loyalists and created good policies for Canada. King George III protected British culture and French culture in Canada. King George III has a good reputation in Canada.

The British took over New France ( Canada) in 1759 and were happy to welcome English speaking loyalists into its territory. Prior to the arrival of the loyalists, Canada remained a mostly French speaking Catholic colony. The British had to promise to protect their language and religion to avoid rebellion. Tens of thousands of loyalists were granted lands in Atlantic Canada ( their french population, the Acadians was largely deported a generation before) and in the western parts of Canada along the St. Lawrence and great lakes ( now Ontario). They transformed Canada into a majority English speaking country by the early 1800s.

Some Loyalists were those who felt underappreciated and undervalued by the Patriots such as Robert Rogers or William Stark

I'm descended from a Patriot and a Loyalist. The Patriot is Caleb Haskell from Newburyport, Massachusetts. He started as militia and became Continental Army. He was at Bunker Hill and Arnold's Expedition to Quebec. He wrote a diary, which has been published and is quoted in a lot of history books. The Loyalist is Dr. Azor Betts, originally from Norwich, Connecticut. He had a medical practice in New York City. He was arrested for speaking out against rebellion and the Continental Congress and the Provincial New York Congress. He was also jailed for inoculating some officers in the Continental Army against smallpox in 1776 (which Gen. Washington had forbidden). He later served in the Queens's Rangers and left for Canada in 1783. He has a Wikipedia page and is mentioned in the National Archives (in connection to General Orders May 26 1776). Their kids (Caleb and Fanny Matilda) got married two months after the War of 1812 ended.

Joel my relative who was a Quaker Loyalist & peaceful person who didn't want to be involved in conflict or violence had no choice but to suffer. It is weird to think that I had relatives on each side...now we're here! You can find a lot of info via ancestry if you know your family line. You'd be surprised about what you find.

I can see why England wanted this war. It viewed the "patriots" as traitors, as thrives. It's as if the U.S. sent a couple odd hundred citizens to established this newly discovered island, and eventually these people grew over decades and started a war against the U.S. but i can also see why the colonials wanted a war. Many of them were born and raised here, but still had to pay taxes, and obey to a single man who lives over 3, 000 miles away, and controlled everything for his benefit. At the time of the war, yeah I can see England and why they tried to regain the land. But here in 2019, we see the right side won, freedom from tyranny, which would have trickled down throughout the years

If I would choose which side is bad I would choose colonists/patriots because King George the third was being nice to the colonists, except for the taxes but King George also imported a new law called Tea Act which lowered the price of tea and King George thought the colonists would be happy but the colonists saw the tea act as a interference(because there was other acts like stamp act, sugar act, and etc)so as a respond from the colonists they decided to go to the Boston harbor and went to the ship and dumped 342 crates full of tea, and also the Colonists/patriots was abusing the British soldiers by beating the British soldiers up and the British soldiers just wanted to be let alone to do their job.

P.S. If your on the colonists’ side then think about the loyalists’ perspectives and think about what/why they put taxes and stuff like that.

The gentleman is forgetting that the Civil War like atmosphere came before the Battle of Lexington and Concord which is why the British troops were there in the first place. The British troops were assisting with the confiscation of patriot Arms, so the patriots fought back. A key detail that's not even taught in our schools anymore.

On March 25, 1815 my 3rd-great-grandparents, Caleb Haskell and Fanny Matilda Betts got married in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. Caleb was the son of Caleb Haskell, Patriot soldier in the Newburyport, Massachusetts militia (Little's Regiment) who had been at Bunker's Hill and went on Arnold's Expedition to Quebec (he wrote a diary which has been published and is sometimes cited in books on the Revolution). Fanny was the daughter of Dr. Azor Betts, a Loyalist in New York who served with the King's Rangers, the Queen's Rangers, and DeLancey's Cowboys before moving with his wife to New Brunswick after the war in 1783 (the doctor was arrested for speaking out against the Provincial and Continental Congresses in 1775, and again for inoculating four Continental Army officers for smallpox at their insistent request {Lt Colonel Moulton, Capt. Parks, Doctor Hart and Lieut. Brown}. General George Washington had read about the arrest just before he issued General Orders May 26 1776) . A few years after the marriage Caleb and Fanny moved to Newburyport, Caleb's home town.

Why is no one speaking to what was done and not done in 1781 and what was done in 1783, then what congress did in 1789 as their First Act. Plus what Washington did along with Hamilton, King George and the Tories in 1791. Why won't they speak to what the founder did to us.

The 1776 Declaration of Dependence Document Signed by Loyalists Archived. survives. But few are aware. It is an important piece of history.

Hayek says that at the time of the revolution America was behind in a number of respects. But says he America had six men who were the equal of any in the world with respect to political science. I am not certain whom he thought made the cut. I will guess who the six were. Jefferson Franklin J. Adams Madison Hamilton and John Jay?
