During the Revolutionary war the people who lived in the colonies (U.S.) either sided with the King and staying under English rule - Loyalists - or they supported those who wrote the Declaration of Independence determined to become a free nation - Patriots.
Neutralists are people that are neither loyalists or patriots. Patriots are people who don't like the king and what he says. Loyalists are people who like the king and what he says.

Patriots were people who were for the independence of the colonies. Loyalists were people who remained loyal to the king.
