Nobody really holds anything against the Loyalists, it's only people like Arnold who started out fighting for America then switched sides who are hated.

That's changing too. Ben is treated very unfairly by American propaganda.

It's not fucking Star Wars it's history

Around the time i heard they only rebelled because they didnt want to pay taxes.

Friendly reminder the Revolution was a farce hijacked by Enlightenment hacks pushing their shit agenda.
>>
>>1114386
Except they were terrible British citizens. As the Glorious Revolution and the English Civil War shows, it's the duty of every true Englishman to fight against a tyrannical king.
>>
Reminder that the overwhelming majority of Loyalists stayed in the U.S. and became Americans.

It's only the worst, most reprehensible of cuckolds who left and became C*nadians.

I don't get why people keep saying that.
If anything the guy is the guarantor of freedoms.

Whig Historians who love to potray the war as a war between Freedon Fighters and a Tyrannic King rather than a bunch of asshole Parliaments

>>1114875
And when he isn't you overthrow him or execute him. Later Kings of England tacitly accepted this by becoming America's greatest ally after the War of 1812.
>>
>>1114889
oh shit im sorry
>>
>>1114893
People at the time sincerely believed they were fighting a tyrant. Of course the Parliament is involved, as it was in the English Civil War and the Glorious Revolution.

Go read the Federalist papers.

Of course, it was bullshit. But they beliebed it.

this is bait
he actually donated to the war effort from his own pocket to the point he bdcamd indebted to continental congress
that, and the fact he was cucked by other generals and passed for promotion several times made him change sides
