The most unfortunate thing about the American Revolution was the persecution of citizens who stayed loyal to Britain. These were British citizens, remember. Many of them had been born in England or Scotland. They were being asked to betray their own nation by a band of traitors, and when they refused, they had their crops burned, their livestock killed, and they were murdered by snipers while walking down the road. Some had their houses set on fire while they were inside. They had committed no crime, other than remaining loyal to their country and their king. As a consequence of this unrelenting persecution, thousands upon thousands of them were forced to flee to Canada to preserve their own lives and the lives of their children. They left everything behind, to be stolen by the traitors who drove them from their homes. Now, that's a fact. So tell me, am I lying?
