Question

What would a loyal British Royal Government official in America probably have said in July of 1776? The colonists have a better idea for government. I think I will lower the taxes on the colonists. I have to get on the next boat back to England. I think they will welcome me here in America for good.

Answer 1

1776 was the year that the Americans declared independence from Britain. Aka, the Americans adoption of the Declaration of Independence. Guiding from that, a loyalist of Britain more than likely would more than likely not feel overly safe within America, hence they probably would've spoken I have to get on the next boat back to England. So the answer is C.
