Immigration During the Revolution 

Except for Native Americans, all United States citizens have some sort of immigration experience whether brought by force or by choice. However, immigration to the United States continued to grow throughout the revolution.  As talked about in my past blogs, almost everyone living in the United States is here because of some sort of immigration.  As many people immigrated to the United States in the revolution, a good amount of people immigrated out.  In this link,   http://immigrationtous.net/18-american-revolution-and-
 immigration.html, the immigration of British out of the United States is described in detail.  The tensions between the British and the 13  colonies increased causing the revolution to begin.  By 1775 only one in every 5 Americans considered themselves to be loyal to Britain. As the rebels started to gain the upper hand in the Revolution, the loyalists began to resettle in Britain's northern colonies.  Following the Treaty of Pars (1783) loyalists immigrated to Quebec, New Scotia, and New Brunswick.  This proves that people were not only immigrating to America but they were also immigrating out.  Many countries populations today are based upon who immigrated into them hundreds of years ago. Until next time, Drew Weidman
