I would imagine that this analogy stemmed from the fact that a fence normally serves as a border between two territories. With the patriots being one territory, and the loyalists being the other, one who wouldn't claim either would be left sitting on the metaphoric fence.

What characterized the shift in ruling power from the Tudors to Kings James I and Charles I in England?
dezoksy [38]

Answer:The English Parliament under the Stuart monarchs was at the centre of politics as never before. It established itself in practice as the ultimate political authority in the country. Its debates and actions of the period remain at the heart of British constitutional and legal ideas, and the English Civil War and Interregnum of 1642-60, the result of a bitter confrontation between the king and Parliament, is perhaps the most dramatic series of political events in British history. The English Parliament also became, in 1707, the British Parliament, after the formal union of England and Scotland created a new country.James I, (born June 19, 1566, Edinburgh Castle, Edinburgh, Scotland—died March 27, 1625, Theobalds, Hertfordshire, England), king of Scotland (as James VI) from 1567 to 1625 and first Stuart king of England from 1603 to 1625, who styled himself “king of Great Britain.”James VI and I (James Charles Stuart; 19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI from 24 July 1567 and King of England and Ireland as James I from the union of the Scottish and English crowns on 24 March 1603 until his death in 1625.A succession of regents ruled the kingdom until 1576, when James became nominal ruler, although he did not actually take control until 1581. ... In March 1603, Elizabeth died and James became king of England and Ireland in a remarkably smooth transition of power. After 1603 he only visited Scotland once, in 1617.James VI and I (19 June 1566 – 27 March 1625) was King of Scotland as James VI, and King of England and King of Ireland as James I. He was the first monarch to be called the king of Great Britain. ... His reign was important because it was the first time England and Scotland had the same monarch.
