From the Paper:
"More than two centuries ago, people living in the Thirteen Colonies, the origins of the United States of America, were forced to choose between the newly independent country of America or loyalty to the old country, England. During the American Revolution, more than 50 provincial corps of loyal Americans opposed the rebellion. The Loyalist corps were raised in all thirteen colonies and fought with the British throughout the war. They lost and were driven into exile by persecution, confiscation of their properties and threats upon their lives. At the end of the war, Sir Guy Carleton, later Lord Dorchester, was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the British forces and was responsible for the evacuation of the troops and Loyalists remaining in New York City.
