The new englanders, I believe

Answer 2

Nicholas Cresswell blamed the patriot leaders in New England for the growing antagonism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cresswell wrote in his travel journal that "The New Englanders by their canting, whining, insinuating tricks have persuaded the rest of the Colonies that the Government is going to make absolute slaves of them." (The Journal of Nicholas Cresswell, 1774-1777, New York: The Dial Press, 1924)
