Question Wars pre 1800?

Like the American Independence War (is that the correct name? Is it Revolutionary War?) and others, is that ok to post questions about them here?

The name of the 1775-1783 armed fight between Britain (not the UK) and the American colonies I suppose depends which side you're on. To the British the colonists were revolting. The Colonists were fighting for Independance.

Loyalist meaning American colonists that sided with the Crown. Towards the end of the war the British took thousands of them off our hands. I suppose some of them did end up in Canada (if that's what you were getting at) - but I don't know any estimates on that.

If you want your land back - come and get it

Yeah, let's forget the loyalist. Talk about betting on the wrong horse.
