Introduction

The words rang out of Patrick Henry, echoing through the church chamber.  Fiery passion fluttered through the air and enlightened the hearts of many. “We too will stand up for liberty!” “We too will raise our arms to fight for our freedoms.” “No taxation without representation!” The unspoken dreams of an independent nation danced on the tongues of the patriots.

However, this same passion for independence enraged the faithful minds of the loyalist. “Treason!” Their hearts bleed for the mother country. The country who protected them from the Indian and French savagery. The country who gave them the rights to own property.
