The American Revolution Part 2

Hello this is Rebecca Nokatomi blogging live from the American Revolution. We have one last guest that would like to inform us about their American Revolution experience. Jacob Waggoner, was a German immigrant in the Thirteen Colonies. Jacob spoke little English, but he had an amazing respect for government and authority. England helped Jacob come to North America, so he felt a good feeling towards them such as happiness, instead of a bad feeling such as anger. In May of the year 1777, he went to war under the British. After he had completed his duties, he moved his family to Quebec. He left behind all his stuff and 40.5 hectares in land in New York’s Mohawk Valley. He later got 80.9 hectares of land from Johnston a.k.a. Cornwall, Ontario. A good population of the people who left the Thirteen Colonies, left behind their families, friends, and most of their stuff. Many loyalists described their journeys in the form of letters, journals, and official records. I am Rebecca Nokatomi blogging you news about the American Revolution.
