patriots
In colonial times, the word "patriots" referred to those who opposed British rule over the colonies.
They didn't like the rules so they decided instead not to follow them.
Not at all, the only people who ruled the Patriots were themselves. Even though they were supposed to do what the British said, they denied. They were patriots, so they chose no to be ruled by anyone except themselves.
No, patriots did not support the British army; in fact, they opposed British rule during the American Revolution. Patriots sought independence from Britain and often resisted British forces through various means, including boycotts and military action. While some loyalists, who remained loyal to the British Crown, might have aided the British, patriots were actively working against them.
