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.

Patriots were colonists who supported American independence from British rule during the American Revolution. They advocated for self-governance and opposed British policies and taxes that they deemed unjust.
