Loyalists, including the minister William Smith, other religious leaders, wealthy and owners, and government officials: “We have received many advantages from Britain’s protection. Without it, our future is uncertain.”
Moderates, including John Dickinson, Quakers, those eager to see differences between Britain and the colonies worked out peacefully, and those too busy with everyday tasks: “It is better that Britain and the colonies reach a peaceful compromise than go to war.”
Patriots, including Abigail Adams, merchants, lawyers, and working people who wanted a better life: “Independence will bring more freedom and opportunities to the colonies!”
