Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain

During the War for Independence the colonists had to decide whether to be a Loyalist or a Patriot. To me choosing to be a Loyalist was the best thing they could have done for the war. Many of the Sons of Liberty and the Patriots didn’t know how to respect England. The American Colonists did some very disrespectful things to us Loyalists and they didn’t respect our views!

At first Prime Minister Lloyd George did not enforced conscription to Ireland because of their strenuous relationship. He and other members of the cabinet knew that Irish conscription would not aid the war effort, as it would jeopardize the Irish Convention, which had been searching for a solution to the Irish Question.
