Since the American Revolution is long over, I barley have anything to say on my blog. The only things I have to talk about are some of the people I’ve heard of. All of them were on the British side, but now all are called loyalists. Fist is Munson Jarvis. He was a good silversmith and lived in Connecticut. Many revolutionary committees interrogated him several times. After, he was imprisoned. I remember he said that he had been “condemned and advertised as inimical to the Liberty of America.” In 1776, he went to Long Island , New York. He worked with us for the whole war. When the war ended, he went to Parrtown, Nova Scotia. He left back 600 pound and got land worth 250 pound from the British. Second is Sarah Frost. Born in Connecticut, her parents supported the patriots, but Sarah Frost and her husband support Britain. During the war, her and her husband lived on Long Island. After the war, Frost and her family went to British territory. When they were on the Two Sisters, Sarah Frost was two months pregnant. She settled in Norton, Nova Scotia. Third is Thomas Peterson. He was born in West Africa, and was kidnapped to the Thirteen Colonies. When the war started, he became a slave in North Carolina. Governor Lord Dunmore promised freedom to the slaves that supported the Loyalists. When he was set free, he joined the Black Pioneers. After the war, he went to Nova Scotia and lived with 200 other Black Loyalists. I have to stop now. I got to do something important.
Sincerely,
Mike Anderson
