Presentation transcript:

Contrasting Patriots and Loyalists

Which Side to Pick? Colonists did not always agree on situation with Britain. They split into distinct groups: Patriots and Loyalists.

Patriots Supported rebellion in colonies 40% of colonists Usually: Younger Middle/lower class Protestant (various) Farmers, traders, craftspeople Families in colonies for long time (Disconnected from Britain) Believed the British were illegally taxing colonies (no representation) Concentrated in New England

Loyalists Supported Britain in war 20% of colonists Usually: Older Upper class Church of England Held jobs as officials for Britain or land owners and merchants Newer to colonies (many first generation) Believed the rebels were unreasonable, Britain has right to tax Concentrated in New York and the South

Military differences

Britain Strengths: Population (more people) Wealth (access to $) Naval Forces Professional Army Better Generals Mercenaries Loyalists

Britain Weaknesses: British government not smart Lack of desire to win war “What really happens if we win?” Military difficulties Brutal treatment of soldiers Undernourished (old, rancid food) The need for a clear victory Soldiers were 3,000 miles from home Vast colonial territory to conquer (and no capital)

Colonies Strengths: Outstanding leadership Military: George Washington Foreign Relations: Ben Franklin Defensive war (defending their home) Agricultural base in country Moral advantage – had “just cause” and believed in what they were fighting for

Colonies Weaknesses: Poorly prepared for war No formal government- who makes the decisions? Economic difficulties No actual money to use Colonists resent any taxes Limited military supplies Firearms, clothing Soldiers unreliable (left at any time) and Not trained

Patriots and Loyalists Campaign Create a letter or picture to convince people to join BOTH the patriot side and the loyalist side.

Reflection: How could you convince the neutral colonists to join one side or the other?
