 Ø  What was your daily life like? (Write a paragraph describing a typical day)  http://www.pbs.org/ktca/liberty/perspectives_daily.html  [|Loyalists]  Loyalist came from all types of life. Most were farmers or store keepers. Ministers and wealthy were always royalty. The army used every race. Half of New York was loyalist. During the war, there was never much of a problem. We all had guns; we knew had to fire them. We were the greatest army in the world. As a farmer, I never thought there would be a war; I just thought that the world was fine with British rule. I did not like the rise in tax but what was I going to do, I was just a farmer.  When I herd there was going to be a war, my father told me to join and I had to. We came in by sea. I was on the frontline. I was at the spot where the “shot herd around the world” was fired. I remember seeing the patriots running, then us chasseing after them. I shot 1 young patriot in the arm. then another. I felt guilty, very guilty but I had to do it for Britain. http://www.americaslibrary.gov/assets/es/nj/es_nj_pitcher_1_e.jpg
