Presentation transcript:

Loyalists Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the Great Britain About 15%-20% of the colonies Many Loyalists fled the country at the start of the Revolution Many were older, wealthy merchants Active in the Church of England The national church

Patriots Came from many different backgrounds Believed “taxation without representation” was illegal Mostly ordinary men and women (farmers, mechanics, homemakers, and shopkeepers) These middle and lower classes didn’t like their economic situation ◦ Largely due to British taxation

The Arguments Loyalists Patriots 1.A strong unified British Empire is good for all 2.Colonists are British subjects and should obey British law 3.Taxes are due to French & Indian War which was fought to protect colonies 4.American colonies would be weak without Britain 5.Colonies profit from trade with England 6.Colonies are too far away from England to have representation in Parliament, its just not practical 1.People have rights government can’t take away, like property 2.Taxation takes away property (i.e. – money and goods) 3.Colonists don’t have voice in Parliament, so they can’t tax colonies (No taxation without representation) 4.There’s no way colonies could ever be represented – Parliament’s too far 5.Many colonists fought in the French & Indian War (we’ve done our part) 6.British personnel are causing violence, riots, and death (Boston Massacre & Boston Tea Party)

The Battle of Saratoga (1777)  British are beaten back by colonial forces  British surrender  Significance of Saratoga: Major defeat for the British Shows that the colonists have a chance to win France becomes an ally of the colonies  Considered a turning point in the war

Europe Helps the Colonies  Spain hoped to gain more land  France was angry over losing the French & Indian War  This caused the British to fight three enemies at once  Had to spread their resources
