Explanation:

Taxation in the colonies resulted in raging in America as colonist grew tired of paying the taxes. Many of the colonists remain divided during the revolution because of economic and political reasons.

Whereas, the Loyalist wanted peaceful reconciliation with the British Government because of economic reasons.
