If you had to, which side would you have chosen during the American Revolution: Loyalist or Patriot? Explain your reasoning consider the economic, political, and social reasons that would make you take sides.

Well I would be a patriot because England did not treat us fairly. By leaving our economy improved a lot because you didn't have England spiting us and taking cuts of everything. Socially speaking we were off way better because there was not super crazy taxes, strict trading laws, unfair and cruel soldiers, and no more taking orders from the queen of England.

Answer:

✅ Highlights:

  • Britain's healthy neglect politics, which unofficially forgave the colonists' self-administration, fueled the independence movement. Patriots pursued official recognition of the agenda by democracy during the Revolutionary War.
  • The Patriot uprising was based auf the republicanist political ideology, which meant that monarchy and aristocrats were rejected and democratic morality was emphasised.
  • Others were alienated by Early Patriots, using intimidation against taxpayers and pushing others to assert their stance in war. While not all colonists backed violent rebellion, history estimates that 45% of colonists joined the rebellion
