Great kilts in the American colonies

[Jock Scot]

Oh I am sure lots of the loyalists survived, after all they did outnumber the Jacobites almost six to one. Well trained, with artillary and a better position. Charles should have listened to Murray much earlier.

Dall, perhaps I am wrong here, but I think that you are short changing the Jacobites, they damn nearly won the war and the Crown, it was only the defeat at Culloden that finished BPC. As to artillery, the first casualty of the battle of Culloden was a British soldier killed by a Jacobite cannon ball, also, the Jacobites were not universally liked in the highlands and many highlanders(dare I say most?) were delighted that BPC was defeated.It is no good harping on about how the Jacobites were out numbered, out trained, out gunned, out General-ed and out fought----- it is a war we are talking about and not a game of monopoly!

Back on topic. A most enlightening historical thread on early American colonial history. Thank you.
