I guess it depends on your perspective. The Quakers in the Revolutionary war didn't have much choice, the rebels didn't give them any. Either bear arms with them,  or pay for the war with elevated taxes, which is against everything that the Society of Friends teach.but the war mad

Some of my ancestors were Loyalists who were branded 'traitors' for not complying with the rebel forces. They were raised in the Society of Friends but the war and it's injustices drove them to be fugitives, outlaws and refuges.  The family was so ill-treated by the American forces that they sided with the British and became spies and were doing reconnaissance and notifying the British of any troop movements. They grew up on the Delaware River, the family property was located less than 1/4 mile from the place where Washington made his historic crossing. One of them was responsible for the taking of Long Island and retreat of Wahington's troops, and if there was proper attention paid to their messages, the war may just have went in favour of the British.

My ancestors were the legendary Doan Gang. Books have been written about their exploits, newspaper articles span the centuries. They are supposed to have been almost supernatural in their abilities and, of course, there's the buried treasure.
