Dear Sarah,
The war was terrible. The Thirteen Colonies broke out into a war with Britain. The Patriots were horrid towards anyone who supported Britain. Even people who didn't want to take part in the war and stayed neutral would get accused and abused. Many innocent people were killed. Mr.Langley died also. Ma and Pa are safe though. The British lost the war, and people are flooding out of the Thirteen Colonies. Lots of them are Loyalists that were harassed by their neighbors, forced to leave or were forced to fight in the war. Even First Nations people migrated because they allied with Brittian in exchange for land. I'm afraid that our family might have to leave too.
Your brother,
George Davis Lanott
This is a horrible situation! It was either you side with the patriots who abuse anyone that isn't a patriot or you side with the First Nations, British or even Neutral and get abused yourself. I personally would rather side with the British because they wouldn't abuse any Thirteen Colonists during the war. Also, because I'm a British soldier...
