I have always been loyal to the King, but is this how a king treats his subjects, by drawing weapons on them on a hillside? The colonists did not start this fight; they are here in response to the threat.

I do not know what my parents and the rest of my family will think of this, but I do not see how I can remain loyal to the British government if firing on their own countrymen is the only way they can think of to solve their problems. This situation is going to pull our town apart at the seams, because I can see that other good people are not with the colonists. Probably many of them are still loyal to the King. But for myself, it is time to rethink that stand......
