the Loyalists and the Patriots
During the American Revolutionary War, loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown, while patriots were those who supported the independence of the colonies from British rule. Loyalists believed in maintaining ties with Britain and were often wealthy landowners, government officials, or members of the Anglican Church. Patriots, on the other hand, sought self-governance and believed in the principles of liberty and democracy. The divide between loyalists and patriots led to deep social and political tensions within the colonies during the war.
