America didn't want most of us back then, a significant amount of the population in the Maritimes are descendants of English loyalist who were run out the US, literally at gun point. Can't have your freeedum and us again. We already built your country once.
Hollly shit, lmao. This person clearly has no idea what they are talking about. Sure the loyalist ran, because treason is a serious offense.
Thats what I mean when I say we are basically cousins. Even in the Wing family, who were part of the founding quaker faith.
Daniel Wing, was instrumental in resisting oppressive laws in the town of Sandwhich and was one of the first 18 families to convert to the faith in 1658 (see History of the Quakers#Sandwhich and_Daniel Wing). His service in the American Revolution was a continuation of what had by this time, become a tradition from generation to generation, to resist oppression and unfair laws.
Lets not mention how most of the work of building a democratic republic was done after the revolutionary war. And is still a ongoing process. America is taken over too, but we can change it, but it cant be through violence. Rich people like trump are not going to help us. Anyway.
The Quaker movement came to Leeds County after the end of the American Revolution. Gersham Wing of New York, who had favored the British in the Revolution, migrated to Upper Canada and it was at his cooper shop just outside Farmersville that the Quakers of the area first met. These meetings later became part of the Leeds Monthly Meeting.
Some wings ran, most stayed, only to produce people like Asa Wing.
"He poured out his life for the perishing slave, pleading for him with an eloquence and earnestness which could scarcely have been more direct, pathetic and touching, had his own wife and children been on the auction block, " Douglass said at the time of Wing's death.
Ordinary people, standing up and doing what they think is right.
Canadians are delusional lol at least the ones in the maritimes. I dont know if its the lead in the pipes, the heavy metals in the fish or what.

We are literally cousins but these retards.
It's only treason when you lose. The rebels would have been hanged if the loyalists had prevailed.
