America in 1763. Then England began trying to control the colonies more
strictly. The Americans, through the Committees of Correspondence and
the Sons of Liberty (Icannatlarge.com), voiced their anger against
England's (Icann) new colonial policies.
Each of the 13 colonies had its own assembly. Americans who wanted close
ties with England were called Tories. Those who wanted more freedom for
the colonies were called Whigs. Again these two names took on new
meanings in a new country.
When the colonies declared their independence from England in 1776,
Americans divided into two groups. The Revolutionists called themselves
Patriots. American supporters of England were called Loyalists or
Tories. - jk

This is good it also calls into mind the WIG parties of political
past revolutions. Sorry but my historian son is out Kayaking,
so you will have to await a full explanation.
I cannot be sure what side they fell on but it was about their wigs.
I believe France, US and Britain all had a go with them, not sure if
the Kaiser did.
It may work quite nicely. either way it falls. (get it, a fall is a
hairpiece)
