"Patriots" was the term used to for those who supported resistance to the policies of King George and his ministers and, later, independence from England.

Of course, if you believed that King George the third, his ministers and Parliament and their policies were right, you might have considered yourself a patriot or, as they became known, Loyalists. And you might have considered the men who were meeting in Philadelphia at the Continental Congresses to discuss the rights that the colonists had under the British government were not fair and what to do about that, to be rebels. Had the Patriots lost, history likely would have remembered them as the Traitors, the Rebels, the Men of the Uprising of '75, or some other term, and the Loyalist might have been considered the real patriots.
