Which of these reasons best describes why roughly one-third of the colonists wished to remain loyal to the British during the Revolutionary War?
Lack of belief that the Americans could be victorious
Fear that the end of British rule would mean an end to the institution of slavery
Fear of Native American attacks in the absence of British protection
The belief among much of the wealthy that the decline of British rule would mean chaos and loss of property
Belief that the Republican principles were a ruse and that an independent America would mean autocracy
In the early stages of Revolutionary War, roughly one-third of the country openly supported full rebellion (Patriots), one-thid remained loyal to the Crown (Loyalists), and the final one-third erred on the side of caution. As the war raged on and American success grew more and more likely these numbers shifted dramatically in favor of the Patriot cause. The Loyalists at the beginning of the war were predominantly wealthy, land-owning families and city merchants. They feared that the end of British rule would see the "rebels" free to take their property and disrupt their business. At the end of the war, many of the remaining Loyalists fled North to Canada, or else back to England.

Hutchison argued that individuals could commune with God through the Bible and prayer, without the assistance of the clergy. She called this a “covenant of grace”, as opposed to the practices of the clergy, which she called a “covenant of works”. Due to her popularity, she threatened the religious experiment of the Pilgrims and was tried and exiled.

What was the significance of The Revolution of 1800?
It represented a shift in political ideology, from Federalism to Democratic-Republicanism
It Signaled the end of the Democratic-Republican party as a major force in United States’ politics
It re-affirmed the Universal Suffrage of all white men
It ushered in another term for President John Adams
All of the those mentioned were true and significant
The Presidential Election of 1800, also called The Revolution of 1800, was important for a number of reasons. The only true answer choice here though is that it represented a shift from the Federalist Party to the Democratic - Republican Party. It was the beginning of the end for the Federalist Party and the Democratic-Republicans would hold power for several years to come. The election was also notable for exposing one of the flaws of the original Constitution; Because Electors were instructed to cast their vote for two separate candidates the result was both Jefferson and Burr gaining the exact same number of votes. It took thirty-six polls before Jefferson was finally elected President, and Burr Vice-President. Following this election the Twelfth Amendment was passed to instruct electors to make a clear distinction between their choice for President and for Vice-President.
