Patriots:
1.Favored independence from British rule
2.Beleived that independence would boost economic growth.
Loyalists:
1.Opposed independence from British rule
2.Beleived that British government would protect their rights
Explanation:
The patriot's were the people who were fighting against the British trying to gain independence and make their own country. Anyone who wanted to separate from British would be considered a Patriot.
The loyalists were the people who lived in the 13 colonies but instead of trying to get away from Brittan's rule they believed that Brittan would protect them and they stayed loyal to their country.
Fun fact: The 13 colonies still considered themselves as British just some didn't want to be considered a part of England.
