Answer:
Patriots were against the taxation system imposed on all colonies by Britain and claimed their representation within the British parliament.
Conversely, loyalists believed in the strength of a unified empire and insisted that independence from Britain would have led to great economic losses and military insecurity.Nov 6, 2017
