Answer:

Option D is correct

Explanation:

During the American Civil War, the Americans were divided into loyalists and the Patriots. Loyalists stayed loyal to the British Crown during the war, while the Patriots were opposed to them and were dedicated to the revolutionary cause. However, the number of loyalists in the American army was very less. The British suspected them. Benjamin Franklin's son also built loyalist military units. After the revolutionary war, the Loyalists fled to British North America (Canada ), Caribbean and Florida. Those who stayed in the USA were able to retain their property and later became American Citizens. According to an estimate in 1775, fifteen to twenty percent of the total white population in the colonies were loyalists. Since the no of loyalists was not much, so to promote goodwill their properties were returned.

Which statement have been made by an anti-federalist?

storchak [24]

Explanation:

Anti-Federalism was a late-18th century movement that opposed the creation of a stronger U.S. federal government and which later opposed the ratification of the 1787 Constitution. The previous constitution, called the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union, gave state governments more authority. Led by Patrick Henry of Virginia, Anti-Federalists worried, among other things, that the position of president, then a novelty, might evolve into a monarchy. Though the Constitution was ratified and supplanted the Articles of Confederation, Anti-Federalist influence helped lead to the passage of the United States Bill of Rights.
