As Sari might well know, during the Revolution (also known as a civil war) about 30-35% of the US back then were on the side of the Patriots, about 25-30% were on the side of the British (including Ben Franklin's son) and the rest were basically neutral.
Also it was Ralph Waldo Emerson who coined the term "the shot heard round the world" which was also applied to Bobby Thomson's pennant winning home run Oct 3, 1951 and every old New York Giants fan/San Francisco Giants fan (I am one) knows.
I lost an ancestor just a couple of months later at the Battle of Bunker Hill. He actually played a role in Paul Revere’s ride.
Wow. That’s so interesting. Amazing family history.
That’s the good one. There’s a really bad ancestor from the same war…story for another time.

All of my ancestors were patriots with one notable exception.
But what I said was all farcical satire. So, I was just so so wrong.
