during the revolutionary war, what was a neutral person?
a. a person who wanted to free the american colonies from british rule
b. a person who moved into one of the large cities to escape the war
c. a person who wanted the colonies to remain part of the british empire
d. a person who did not take sides and just wanted the war to end

Explanation:

A neutral person during the Revolutionary War is defined by not taking sides in the conflict. Option A describes a Patriot (those wanting freedom from British rule), Option C describes a Loyalist (those wanting to remain part of the British Empire). Option B is about avoiding the war physically (moving to a city), not about neutrality in stance. Option D correctly captures the essence of neutrality - not taking sides and desiring an end to the war.

Answer:

D. A person who did not take sides and just wanted the war to end
