The correct answer is B) Freedom of expression was curbed during the American Revolution.

In regard to Loyalists during the American Revolution, freedom of expression was curbed during the American Revolution.

The Loyalist were people that opposed to the Revolution and remained loyal to the British crown. Historians consider that 15 to 20% of the population of the Americas remained loyal to the King of England. That is why freedom of expression was curbed during the American Revolution. Many people tried to publicly express their support to the crown, but the vast majority of colonists wanted independence and fought for their liberty.
