Whose Side Are You On? Colonists now had to choose sides… Patriots – supported independence and a full break from Britain Loyalists – professed loyalty to the Crown and opposed independence This Revolution truly became a “civil war” as countrymen now were in a position to fight each other as much as Britain’s armies
