In 1900, Democratic presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan made his opposition to the war the centerpiece of his campaign.
The Loyalists were strongest in the far Southern Colonies and the Middle Atlantic Colonies, especially New York and Pennsylvania, where fighting became a bitter civil war of raids and reprisals.
The humiliating defeats suffered by American troops made the fight so unpopular that the New England states — which never favored the war — considered seceding.

Although slaves forcibly seized and imported from Africa were numerically concentrated in the staple-producing southern colonies in British North America, they also constituted a vital part of the labor force in Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania, especially in their bustling port cities, as household servants, artisans, and common laborers.
The institution of chattel slavery was central to Franklin's Colonial world, Waldstreicher insists.
His account, however, doesn't aim to ''knock Franklin off his deserved pedestal" but rather to ''restore some measure of reality" and humanity to his life.

This plan never went into effect because too many settlers came who were not interested in establishing an orderly society but were interested in making substantial sums of money from rice farming.

The people that come to this colony are seeking financial wealth, and help to make up the diverse society that emerges.

In the middle colonies, where, according to the Gazette, about half the adults could sign their names, colonial leaders agreed that education was important but were not concerned with providing it.
The Puritans, in particular, valued education, because they believed that Satan was keeping those who couldn't read from the scriptures.
The decision of whether to educate children was left to individual families until 1683, when a Pennsylvania law was passed, requiring that all children be taught to read and write and be trained in a useful trade.

Long before people who settled in the Southern colonies came to America, they were called "rednecks" and "crackers" in England, where they had low intellectual and economic achievements but high levels of violence and sexual promiscuity.
In an essay published in The Wall Street Journal, "Crippled by their culture," Thomas Sowell distinguishes two historical origins of Northerners and Southerners - America's first English settlers.
Because of where they came from in England, Northerners were better educated, had more schools, newspapers and agricultural patents.
