You are a patriot in a loyalist vs patriots debate?
Ask the Loyalists: How do you benefit by supporting the king? What benefits do you get from the taxes you pay? Why should the colonists be taxed? Is it really worth it to not sacrifice so many lives? Ask the Patriots: How do you benefit from turning against the king? How else should you pay for the war? Why shouldn't the colonists be taxed? Is it really worth it to lose so many lives? After the war the Patriots believed they had the right to expel the Loyalists and abuse them. Few were killed but many were forced to leave their homes and were pushed out into the countryside or forced out of the country entirely. This is one of the firsts acts the Patriots made as newly liberated men. Was this the right thing to do? No, probably not; but we have to remember how the Patriots were treated by the Loyalists during the Revolution. If a Loyalist found you were a Patriot plotting with other Patriots on tactics of liberating the colonies from the King they would not hesitate to turn you and in let you be punished. So really the Patriots acts were a form of payback but it still does not justify either of their foolhardy actions. The Loyalists did not have the right to abuse the Patriots during the Revolution and the Patriots did not have the right to abuse the Loyalists after the Revolution.

The British shut down Boston Harbor port causing people to starve. The Colonist had no rights; the patriots didn't like the British taxes because they were unfair. Colonist that wanted to remain with Britain was known as Loyalist. They were usually wealthier than the patriots. Loyalist thought the British taxes made everything cheaper. They thought the taxes made everything cheaper. They also thought the taxes are fair pay for the protection of British navy. The loyalist thought the patriots acted like spoiled children. As this continued there were strong disagreements between both sides, which eventually led to disloyal acts against Great Britain which then led to war. - By Brezyy F. Babie Brown
