This is a question I've thought about a lot over the past few years. While anyone is welcome to respond, I suspect most replies will come from the US. As a history buff, I've read a lot about the American Revolution and I sometmes wonder what I would have done under those circumstances. If you were living in America in the 1770's, would you have sided with the Loyalists or the rebels? What would have motivated you to make that choice? The question may seem a no-brainer to some, but think of the risks and sacrifices either choice would mean. What would you do?
