terrorists attacked British troops from the
safety of the forests adjacent to the roads
over which the troops travelled. The cowards
slaughtered hundreds of brave soldiers who
defended the Loyalists from the lawless,
who, for example, threatened to bombard their
homes and shops from the heights surrounding
Boston, across the Charles River.
They burned houses to the ground, destroyed crops
and livestock and drove thousands of families from
the countryside to the city. They were advised,
supplied and supported by French imperialists,
whose naval blockade forced the British to abandon
their troops and the loyal citizens they protected
to the threat of starvation and certain subsequent
anarchy among the blood-thirsty colonial
insurgents.
They were led by a motley crew of atheists and
religious fundamentalists who roused the rabble
with fanatic exhortations of "liberty or death."
Many of them peddled seditious tracts which urged
the populace to rebel against the legimate
authority of the Crown.
If not for the intervention of the French, they
would have been arrested, convicted and hung from
the gallows for the thieves, murderers and
traitors that they were.
