I've spent the past few years researching the Iroquois involvement in the Rev War, and for them also it was a civil war. The Iroquois League was broken over it as some fought for the King, others for the Patriots. Staying neutral in New York was nearly impossible, for anyone.Lori Bentonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04714197239425827339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3139112422565969072.post-80227792573688223432013-03-18T22:29:35.608-04:002013-03-18T22:29:35.608-04:00That was an interesting thing to learn, wasn't...That was an interesting thing to learn, wasn't it Debbie?

And allegiances swung back and forth with the Continental Army's victories and defeats. It was a turbulent time, to say the least, filled with fascinating people on both sides.

Knew many of the loyalist were english who still had dealings with england and often part of the gentry. I loved Gilbert Morris's Liberty Bell series which told a lot about the war.<br />I cant wait to actually see some of the sites like Valley Forge, Mount Vernon. It will be exciting to see your history and am so glad IAusjennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644698706787568679noreply@blogger.com
