Loyalist This is someone who is going to be loyal to the English Crown. They believe in staying with the protection of the mother country Famous Loyalists: –King George III – ruler of the British Empire, and believes that after supporting the American colonies for over 100 years with protection and trade, the colonists should be happy with England –John Connolly – Virginian loyalist who attempts to unite the Indians and Virginians against any rebellion against English Rule

Patriot A Patriot is someone who believes that the laws Parliament has set forth are wrong. Taxation without Representation within Parliament is unfair to the colonies Famous Patriots: –Thomas Paine - wrote Common Sense, a pamphlet that attempts to sway opinions among the colonists that it is time to unite and become independent from England. –Samuel Adams – Sons of Liberty – Led a group of Bostonians to fight British troops in Boston leading to the Boston Massacre. Then put those troops on trial for the massacre. Sent gangs of men to beat up British tax collectors.

The Colonies Unite! To fight or not to fight? That was the question.

LoyalistLoyalist or Patriot? Loyalist Many of the colonists weren’t sure how to react to the taxation policies. Some were self-determined and wanted more voice in the government. Should they be loyal to the king (Loyalist), or should they support an independence movement (Patriot)?

The Patriots Unite In 1775 delegates from the colonies met in Philadelphia to discuss the situation. John Adams George Washington Thomas Jefferson Their meeting was called The First Continental Congress.

They voted to: ban all trade with Britain until the Intolerable Acts were repealedban all trade with Britain until the Intolerable Acts were repealed create colonial militiascreate colonial militias to meet again in seven months.to meet again in seven months. Many of the delegates wanted to remain loyal, but they still hated tyranny. First Continental Congress First Continental Congress

Colonial Militias The Patriots were prepared and ready to fight at a moment’s notice. They were called the Minutemen.

The Voice of a Patriot Patrick Henry urged the colonists to unite. “I know not what course others may take. But as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Patriot: “The colonies have flourished (grown), and we don’t need a mother any more. We would be better off if we made our own decisions.” Arguments of Loyalists and Patriots Loyalist: “Britain is our mother country. She protects us and our trade.”

Loyalist: “The colonists would lose a possible war and are greatly outnumbered.” Patriot: “We are determined to fight for our rights. It’s only common sense that we should form a new country. ” Arguments of Loyalists and Patriots

The Shot Heard ‘Round the World In April 1775, British troops marched on Lexington and Concord near Boston. Lexington and Concord Lexington and Concord The Minutemen were waiting in Lexington, and shots were fired.

The Shot Heard ‘Round the World In Concord the British were forced to retreat, and the Revolution had begun!

Second Continental Congress At first, they still hoped for peace, wrote the Olive Branch Petition, and sent it to King George III. He rejected it and decided to blockade American ports.

A Royal “Paine” As the delegates continued to meet, Thomas Paine wrote a pamphlet that questioned royal authority and called for independence. It was called Common Sense and sold more than 120,000 copies.

Common Sense “O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose not only the tyranny but the tyrant, stand forth…” “Nothing but independence… can keep the peace of the continent… A government of our own is our natural right…”
