The Patriot Script

Here are some reasons that i will not go to the patriots side; first they have all the freedom and no laws at all; also they don’t have one single piece of government and things get out of hand really fast because whatever they want to do the can; another reason you shall come be with us is that the patriots are over populated in the united states, and last they have been around for a lot less longer.

From the accounts, I find the loyalists account more believable than the Patriots account. The account begins by narrating the entrance of the king’s troops in the town in 1768. This entrance had one meaning, those people who referred to themselves as sons of liberty would soon lose their freedom. The arrival of the king’s troop implies the abolition of the democratic government. Parliament would not have any meaningful use. Its deliberations would not be important because the resulting laws would not be binding. It was necessary for people to revolt against the king. This revolution would earn back their freedom. They would once again have a democratic government.

The Stamp Act. The Townshend Acts. These were the first in a long succession of taxes imposed on Americans to “cover the cost of victory” in the French and Indian War (Document 4). Outraged, organizations such as the Daughters of Liberty formed to reject the taxation. The Daughters of Liberty supported economic coercion through nonimportation, refusing to “import any tea, glass, paper, or other commodities commonly brought from Great Britain, until the act imposing duties upon all such articles should be repealed”; meanwhile, their brothers in the Sons of Liberty repeatedly used acts of aggression, such as tarring and feathering, or burning an effigy (Documents 5 and 4, respectively). Despite this radical opposition, fear of government oppression was unfounded: “The British had no plan to restrict colonial liberties or impose authoritarian administration” (Document 8, procedure C). Indeed, the government was well within its rights to place duties on the colonies, especially given that the colonists had benefitted from not only the victory in the French and Indian War (in that they eventually gained the ability to settle in territory that had previously belonged to Native Americans), but also the protection they received from the British during the conflict (Documents 4 and 8, procedure C, respectively). To claim that a government is tyrannical due to its taxes, while directly benefitting from those taxes, is illogical. Further, “the colonists were more

For many, after the dreadful seven years’ war all thought it could only get better. Britain sustained a massive debt leaving them in a hole so deep you could not see light. Britain had sought to acquire all nessary funds to help lessen the debt as much as possible, leaving the people angered, especially people from the colonies. Britain began to impose an abundance of unsanctioned taxes on them. The American colonist were infuriated with such actions, arguing that they it was not consulted. In accordance to all these events many had took it up themselves to express their opinion with action.

After 1776 Loyalists felt the urge to remain allies with Great Britain. This urge came from their own sense of protection and personal gain. Although other American colonists choose a different political standpoint, they were Patriots. They lived for independence and liberty away from the power of the king of Great Britain. However Loyalists supported the king and the traditional ways of Great Britain. American colonists would support Great Britain as Loyalists for their own sense of safety in the colonies, as an escape from embarrassment and failure, and for their own prosperity economically and emotionally. Having the fear of losing their sense of honor and rank, they decided to continue serving Great Britain as Loyalists.

“Among the American suffering the most grievous losses were those who remained loyal to the Crown” (Nash, p. 187). They lived successful lives in England and other regions as well. They appeared after the war to the royal commission demanding the reimbursement of their losses during the war. They did not secure anything. The amount of people who stayed loyal differed from place to place. Many remained a loyalist because of the revolutionary assemblies who had revenge against those who rejected the revolution and could not vote. They had their properties taken away, and banished from their homes. Some of them in the Georgia assembly was towards their death. Their childhood was destroyed, families left them, and people could attack them because

The taxes that have been imposed over the last years that we do not approve of include the sugar act, which imposed taxes on sugars, The stamp act, which imposed taxes on all printed materials and all the numerous taxes Britain imposed in the Townshend acts on British imports to the colonies. We totally disapprove the Townshend acts taxes, this is unlawful. We

British soldiers have been tirelessly working to maintain peace and stability among the savage colonists, but they oppose every plan and act created for their our mutual benefit. They refuse to comply with our rules that stress the importance of their mother country.

The American Revolution was a war of principles fought by Loyalists and Patriots. However, Loyalists believed in neutrality, peace, and no brutality or treason. Therefore, Patriots believed in freedom of religion, the right to bear arms, and the right to break away from the British government. In the novel My Brother Sam is Dead created by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier, a family disputes over which side is right. James and Christopher Collier use the ironies of Life, Jerry, and Sam's death to induce Tim's decision of neutrality.

You are a Massachusetts delegate of the Continental Congress, the main governing body of America. You and your peers find the tariffs and taxes unreasonable and completely unjust. There’s a huge lack of representation from the colonies! Who are they to decide your ways of living with no say from you whatsoever?!

British are taking over, men are falling at gun shot, chaos consumes us all. There are countless deaths among us, the men fall from sickness and murder. With every fallen soldier there is another family without a son, father, or husband. This war needs to end, soon. I have decided to re-enlist for three reasons which are to fill in for others that left or died, the Congressmen are here to support us, finally if we do not win this war we are nothing but slaves to the British.

Life for the loyalists became increasingly difficult during the war. Loyalists who lived in areas controlled by the patriots were in constant danger from radical patriots. Many of them lost their homes and businesses.

My journey as Nathaniel Wheeler wad certainly very interesting. For the most part, I just stayed in my lane and did what I was told, because I didn't want to get in trouble with anybody. As for the political side of things, I feel as if I stayed more loyal with the Patriots, though I wasn't nearly as hateful toward the Loyalists as others had been. At the end, I chose to sail with Solomon, because I did not fullt support the doings of the Patriots, and I had no place back in England with Constance. The Patriots, though they had many of the right intentions, were much too…extreme and they played guilty even when they knew they were apart of the problem. The Loyalists weren't as exaggerated as the Patriots, but they were pushy and quite rude

As a slave I would not want to be a part of the Patriots or the Loyalists, because no matter who I choose both group of people will see me as a slave and not as a person. After being punished for something that she did not do, Isabel went to fetch some water, and encounter some slaves that were arguing about the war. The slaves fought between them and tried to convince themselves and the others which side should they choose the Patriots or the Loyalists. However, an old man said “ British or American, that is not the choice. You must choose your own side, find your road through the valley of darkness that will lead you to the river Jordan ”(167). I agree with this quote because, that both Patriots and Loyalists owen slaves and treated them

How can we trust leaders, such as Samuel Adams, who support violence and turmoil? We mustn't fall for these lies spit out by these vile snakes. The colonies are excellent as is, and well continue growing if we remain with Britain. We will prosper economically, and our offspring will enjoy the pleasures of being British. True ¨Americans¨ can only be British, not Yankees. We as colonists should unite, and aid our soldiers during this conflict by allowing them to stay in our private homes. Aid one of your own in this time of snakes and rebels. No rebels shall take away the sense of peace we have had for decades. Taxes are low, tea is cheap, and people are happy. Why must these men take away of the advantages of being British? Together, as Englishmen, we shall triumph over these devilish forces, regain everything we have lost during this conflict- our security, our prosperity, and most importantly, the happiness we were relishing in for so
