I'm not disagreeing at all with your defense of Tories and redcoats. I have some ancestors who served in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War and some who I suspect were, if not active Tories, at least had loyalist sympathies. Many of them migrated north across the St. Lawrence after the war.
Mea culpa, Morris! I guess the neurons weren't firing when I first read your post.

I have at least one Loyalist in the family tree as well.
