The British royal family has many filial sons and grandchildren, especially in a certain port in South China. The Queen of England passed away. They cried sadly than Harry and William. They really regarded the Queen of England as their elders. There was also a superman who bought the British assets at the bottom and used real money to loyal to the UK. There was nothing new in the world. More than 200 years ago, a group of people were more loyal to the British royal family, but the result was that the richest man became a worker in the Indian subcontinent.
This group of people are the loyalists in North American War of Independence . They are better than the residents of a port in South China, and they pay out of their own pockets and bring their own equipment to the British royal family. The War of Independence in North America was not warm, but took a clear position. Therefore, the residents of North America were divided into two clear-cut factions, namely the loyalists and the patriots. The number of loyalists is not low. According to the founding father of the United States, Adams (the early generation of the founding father of the United States, the second president of the United States, and responsible for arms and logistics during the War of Independence ), one-third of the population in North America was loyalists, and modern scholars generally believed that one-fifth of the people at that time tended to loyalists.
This was not surprising at the time. Among the 13 colonies in North America, 5 of them were the territory of the Puritans, six were composed of Anglicans, and there was also a Quaker-dominated Connecticut (the Quaker church directly bought the land of Connecticut. The church was characterized by advocating the use of force, but it was the most important source of arms for the Continental Army during the North American War of Independence), and Maryland, which believed in Catholicism. Because the five Puritan colonies have never taken the British royal family seriously, the son of Cromwell ran away to North America after the restoration of the royal family in Stuart and lived under the cover of the Puritans. There are naturally hard-core royal fans among the thirteen colonies in North America. William Payne, the founder of Pennsylvania , was born into a hardcore royal family.
North American colonies were the best stage for European civilians to counterattack in the 17th and 18th centuries. At that time, the annual income of male citizens in British people was 40 pounds, while the annual income of male citizens in North American colonies was 60 pounds. The prosperity of North America gave the British Empire the urge to fetch the wool, and thus a series of struggles among North American residents. In the struggle, the loyalists and patriots were originally a united front, and sometimes they were two top figures and were family members. For example, William Franklin, the son of Franklin, was a famous leader of the loyalists. After the outbreak of the War of Independence, North American residents were forced to take sides and became political enemies of different Dai Tian.
There are economic reasons, as well as belief and social relations factors. For example, the priests of the Anglican Church are often hard-core loyalists, because the head of the Anglican Church is the King of England; some people have different beliefs, such as William Franklin, who opposed the use of force to fight against Britain, and even his wife was imprisoned by the Uncle Shizhan Washington ; not to mention that there are many branches of British gentlemen's families in North America. King George III of the United Kingdom also said that he would rather abdicate than save North America, which moved the North American allegiancers to his blood.
In the North American War of Independence, there were more than 19,000 loyalists. They picked up guns and fought with the British army against the 25,000 mainland army. Their fate was also changed because of the war. Washington's old iron Beverly Robinson is a typical example. This person is the largest landlord in New York, which once made Washington envious and jealous. Beverly Robinson and Washington are both Virginia . They are childhood friends, and they have carried guns for the British Empire together. They also went to New York to apply for a son-in-law. Their application was the son-in-law of the Phillips family, one of the largest landlords in New York. As a result, Beverly Robinson successfully applied for the job and married Susanna Phillips; Washington failed to marry Susanna's sister, who married a loyalist member.
The land of the Phillips family is not too big in the United States, that is, New York hundreds of square miles of land. Manhattan and other places have many land and blocks originally belonged to his family's property, and his mansion is in Hudson Heights in Uptown Manhattan today. Beverly Robinson married a rich and rich beauty, and Washington later married a widow and became the richest man in , Virginia. But Virginia's richest man is still far behind that of New York's largest landlord. Beverly Robinson often entertains Washington in his own mansion, which left a deep impression on the latter. After the outbreak of the North American War of Independence, Washington led his hometown soldiers and became the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army. On the one hand, Beverly Robinson was the biggest tyrant in New York, and on the other hand, he also served as his New York militia officer and New York County judge, and is also a real power figure in New York. Beverly Robinson seemed to think that the British Empire was invincible, and the British Navy was the strongest in the world (New York was near the sea, and his industry was under the guns of the British). With his brother-in-law's relationship, he finally chose the loyalist camp in 1777 and stood opposite to his former iron.
The tycoon Beverly Robinson paid out of his own pocket to add a regiment to the British army. The regiment name is really called "Loyal American Regiment", and he himself served as the colonel. His eldest son, Beverly Robinson Jr., served as the army lieutenant colonel of the regiment, and his second son served as captain, enjoying the treatment of a top aristocrat of old money in Europe (only the Duke of England can have a hereditary regiment in the family). Beverly Robinson fought with Washington, and Washington was not polite. After the Continental Army arrived in New York, the first thing it did was to confiscate all the property of Beverly Robinson and his relatives (especially that former rival) and regard the Beverly Robinson mansion he lived in then as the General Command of the Continental Army.
After the war, the US government led by Washington naturally did not return these industries. The Declaration of Independence says that "private property is sacred and inviolable", but loyal veterans have sent against the mainland army and their property is not protected. The Beverly Robinson family had to travel to Canada, and his children became officers of the British army, working hard for the British war in India and other places. Beverly Robinson's distant relative Gardner also became a military worker. The eldest young master's matriarch can be traced to the Livingston family, the largest landlord in New York. Like the Phillips family, owning hundreds of square miles of land in New York State (as big as the city of New York). Gardner's mother married a British officer and became a hardcore loyalist in the eyes of patriotic people in North America. She also lost all family industries. Gardner could only work in the British army, and finally switched to the Maratha warlords in India to be an instructor.
If there was no North American War of Independence, the wealth of these two major families could be comparable to that of the Duke of Westminster (the richest man in Britain and the largest owner of London). It’s a pity that they took the lead in the British royal family...
