What colonist were called patriots?

Were the patriots for or against the King?

The patriots were against England and they acts they were forcing on the 13 colonies for example the quartering act,stamp, act, and tea act. The patriots wanted freedom because they thought England was doing unjustice to them because it was taxation without representation. The England cud not force taxes on the 13 colonies because the colonies had no one to represent them in the Parliament in England.


What are the thirteen colonies?

THE ANSWER- I SEARCHED IT--During the years 1740 to 1770 the tension between England and the 13 colonies grew into a full scale war. Suffering from unjust taxation and tyrannical rule, the colonists tried to change and influence the English policy through repeated petitioning and boycotts. After failing to influence England through peaceful measures, war was the colonists' only option. The 13 colonies were therefore justified in starting a revolt against England. According to England however the colonists were not justified in waging war. England was the mother country and the colonists paid the lowest taxes in the world. Being that the colonists benefited from the French and Indian war, colonial help in paying back the debt was expected. The 13 colonies unnecessarily resorted to violence and propaganda in which a minority of Patriots influenced other colonists to believe in a "New England" problem. Despite England's reasons as to why the 13 colonies were wrong to declare war, the colonists were justified in waging war. The colonists in the Declaration of Independence clearly stated their grievances and case against England, declaring to the world the reasons that caused them to separate and fight to become the United States of America.
