Ame Cummings (Unknown)

You and your sister are orphans, but a shopkeeper, Elizabeth Murray, gives you both the financial support to start your own store. A Patriot newspaper publishes your name in a list of "enemies to the country," because you import British goods. Although you did not have strong political opinions before, this event pushes you towards Loyalism. When the British evacuate Boston in 1776, you and your sister move to Canada and establish a new, even more prosperous, store.
