Is that "Colonials" AKA "PATRIOTS" and "Whigs" (also a contemporary Brit political party)?
"American" can apply to loyalists and patriots alike.
This, i would like to know. Thus far, my research is focused more on South Carolina and religious matters.
There was a settlement in Western North Carolina (New Sterling and New Perth ARP churches-> "dissenant presbyterians"), where members spoke gaelic and wore kilts before the war. From what I can tell, they were patriots. I'm not sure if they wore any in combat (pitched battles or skirmishes).
