Write a paragraph comparing the Patriots and the Loyalists. If you were to have taken sides with one of them, which one would you have been and why?

If anyone can help me with this thank you! (I will report any non-answers though.)

Answer:

Loyalists were those colonials who were loyal to the King of England. They may not have agreed with the policies and laws of the Crown, but they knew they had a duty to uphold the laws and remain loyal to the government that controlled their daily lives. The Patriots were those colonials who were growing weary of British rules and policies, especially when they had no say in how these laws would be made or implemented. They strived for freedom from a tyrannical royal government, often led by Royal Governors who suppressed any utterance of rebellion. The Patriots grew tired and weary of being British citizens without British rights. From my point of view it seems like the Loyalists had it easy so that's who I would pick but it's all up to you.

I hope this helps :)
