A loyalist is a person who remained loyal to the British monarchy and opposed the American Revolution. A patriot, on the other hand, is someone who supported and fought for the independence of the American colonies from British rule. If I were alive during the American Revolution, I believe I would be a patriot because I would have been motivated by the desire for self-governance, and the belief in the principles of liberty, equality, and democracy. Additionally, the economic incentives for a patriot may include the desire for fair trade and economic opportunities within the newly formed United States.
