The story of the American Revolution is the story of a people at war with themselves and each other. Caught up in what Thomas Paine called The American Crisis, American colonists made decisions that often had nothing to do with the fight for independence from England or loyalty to King and country. For them the war was more than a rebellion, it was a civil war that pitted rebels and loyalists alike against their neighbors, their friends, and all too often, members of their own family. Each had to decide not only where their loyalties lay, but what price they were willing to pay for the cause they attached themselves to.
