We Are the Jackets As each person at Byrd had his own unique personality, the colo¬ nists of Revolutionary America each carried his own interests and identity. Whether he was a patriot burning for separation, or a loyal¬ ist waiting for reunion to mother England, each colonist expressed his feelings through his own indi¬ vidualism. By combining their separate skills and ideas, the early revolutionaries produced a most effective plan that was as shocking to the eyes of the world as it was effective in changing the lives of its inhabitants. By this same method of uniting many talents and forces into one, Byrd con¬ tained the great spirit that can come only from the heart of the individual.
