Your faith has no basis. After the Revolution was won and the British army left, many Loyalists(knowledgable historians say close to 1/3 of the polpulation)remained behind. They held private property to the same extent as the triumphant rebels. And yet they had to flee to Canada to continue to express their loyalty. There was no ACLU to fight for their right to remain and build statues of the King - even on their own private property.

Certainly....but you didn't asked about those who took up arms agaisnt the U.S. during the period. Please inform me when, if ever, we passed similar laws depriving ALL Muslims of property rights and the first amendment?
