Wars pre 1800?

[Lucky13]

Like the American Independence War (is that the correct name? Is it Revolutionary War?) and others, is that ok to post questions about them here?

The name of the 1775-1783 armed fight between Britain (not the UK) and the American colonies I suppose depends which side you're on. To the British the colonists were revolting. The Colonists were fighting for Independance.

True....

Loyalist meaning American colonists that sided with the Crown. Towards the end of the war the British took thousands of them off our hands. I suppose some of them did end up in Canada (if that's what you were getting at) - but I don't know any estimates on that.

If you want your land back - come and get it

 

[pbfoot]

Lots came up, and as for the land I'll take your word for that as an Officer and a gentleman8)

Yeah, let's forget the loyalist. Talk about betting on the wrong horse.

Was your family in Canada at the time???

Mine was still in Poland/Ireland/Scotland/Croatia/Germany.

 

[pbfoot]

My dads family left the US during the revoulution and settled here the story says from near Lancaster PA

 

[timshatz]

Lancaster?! About 40 miles away from where I live. Place where the Amish are, that and Stoudt's Brewery. Nice place, plenty of rolling hills. Mostly farm land.
