Where on this scale were the Know Nothings?

BTW, John, while you are correct in your political analysis of the British of those days, the term "tory" was used almost universally to refer to american born loyalists, in a derogatory sense.

Incidentally, Benjamin FRanklin's son was a loyalist. He moved to England; he and his father never saw or spoke after the war, that I know of.

The term was "Mug-Wumps" Political correctness disavowed the use of "Rump". LOL Stan
