""The War For Independence. The colonial population was not really divided in half. A rough guestimate it was in thirds: One for Independence, One for the Crown, One didn't really care.""


So for all practical purposes, of those who did register a preference, half were for the crown, half for independence.

Can't quite see the difference between that and a 50/50 spread.

Perhaps if you squint a bit, half close your eyes, and look at it from the left............two thirds were not anti crown, and two thirds were not anti independence.......which means,...er...let's see,.....50/50 give or take a zero or two.

It seems to work out about six of one, and half a dozen of the other.

Of course the wimmin didn't get a say.
