Colonists Who Were The Loyalists Analysis

In this video, North American in 1750, lecture 2, Dr. John Dixon has informed about the American Revolution which between 1775 and 1783. The main reason that the revolution started was because the colonists were rejected of the British monarchy and aristocracy, they wanted to get rid of British’s control. They tried to overthrow the authority of the British and finally they succeed and formed the United State of America.
During the revolution, people who supported the American Revolution were called as the “Patriots”, or “Revolutionaries”, etc. On the different side, the people who supported the British, were called as the “Loyalists” or “Tories”. Which at the end, some colonists who were the “Loyalists”, got treated badly after the British got lose during the Revolution War.

Started in 1765, some colonists rejected the authority of the British Government and tax them without any British government members.

As the conflicts raised, patriots destroyed the taxed tea in the Boston Tea Party in 1773. The British were angry, so they responded with the Coercive Acts in 1774, forced the patriots to pay for the destroyed tea. However, the patriots were also angry of the Act that the British published. So in the late 1774, they set up their own government to fight against the Great Britain.
Since because the tensions between the patriots and the British, which included the loyalists, the fighting started at Lexington and Concord in April 1775, which later became known as the American Revolutionary War. Patriots formed a Congress and assumed it gained the power from the old colonial governments and used it to against the Loyalism. It declared the colonies free and independent, claimed the political philosophies of liberalism and republicanism, and also said that all men are born with

equal.
The British were forced out of Boston in 1776. So they tried to blockade the ports and captured other cities but failed to defeat the Washington’s forces and his army. In early 1778, a British army was captured by the patriot’s army at the Battle of Saratoga. At the following, the French entered the war as the allies of the United States. Later, the war tuned to the South side, the British captured an army at South Carolina, but because of not enough of loyalists to control them, they failed. On the other hand, a combined force of American and French, it captured a second British army at Yorktown in 1781, which ended this Revolution War.
At the end, a peace treaty in 1783, it declared the new nation was completely separated from the Great British. The United States took all the territory east of the Mississippi River and the south of the Great lakes, except the Canada which still under the British’s control and the Florida which under the Spain’s control.
The result of the revolution was the formation of the democratically-elected representative government. But however because of the “Three-Fifths Compromise”, it allowed the southern slaveholder to maintain their power and the slavery. Later the new Constitution established a strong federal national government that included an executive and judiciary. The Congress had the powers of taxation but still lack of power under the old Articles. The United States Bill of Rights of 1791, which include the first ten amendments to the Constitution, guaranteed many natural rights and attempted t balance the national government and the state government.
