United Empire Loyalists
"A Catastrophe Shocking To Think of" Created Canada. "Because these proud folk were not rebels but opted for Unity of Empire, they had placed upon them and their descendants the unremunerative title of United Empire Loyalist." "Wit is capable of striking down a whole regiment of regulars." "History shapes the world in which we live." "History is like that - chancy." "History is an argument without end." "History is someone's memories of momentous events." "History is the active force in the struggles of every generation.." "History is the aspirations of humanity." "History is the life and times of humanity." "Pace the pitching black deck." "The Loyalists stuck to their guns. Moderates among them admitted there had been evils in the policies of Great Britain, but with prayers and petitions all could be made right. They appealed to the verdict of history: the Revolution violated the traditions, the ancient ties and the ceremonials inherited from the distant past." Copyright © 2013 Website Administrator |
