Was Tories a Patriot or loyalist?

Answer 1

Why I want to be a Patriot

Do you wonder why I want to be Patriot? I'm writing about Patriots because they're interesting and unusual. I am going to write about unfair King George, independence, and the events that happened to the Patriots.

First, as we all know, King George was unfair to the Patriots. The taxes were too high. The taxes really hurt our businesses. Our lawyers fought in court with the Loyalists because of how unfair the Loyalists' and King George's laws were. We didn't only fight about how unfair the laws were; we also fought about how the taxes were unfair, too. Also, King George appointed governors. King George was very unfair!

Next, Independence was another important thing to the Patriots. Independence brought wealth and freedom to the Patriots. The Patriots thought independence was very important to them because businesses would be better and less unfair, than the Loyalists' businesses. Another reason why the Patriots thought independence was important is because if they were independent, they would have fewer taxes. The Patriots would at least lower the taxes!

Finally, the Patriots had a very interesting life. They had many events happening in their lives. The Loyalists shot the Patriots. That was a very important event. Five people died, and six people got wounded. This event was called the Boston Massacre. Suddenly, the Patriots snuck to the Loyalists' houses because they wanted revenge on them, especially when they fired the bomb on us! Everyone knows about the Boston Tea Party. This event was one of the most important events in all of history! The Patriots were really mad about the really high taxes paid for everyday goods (tea), so they just dumped tea into the harbor! That was a very big waste, but that's how mad Patriots were about Loyalists!

Hopefully, now you know why being a Patriot is better than being a Loyalist! Again, I would choose to be a Patriot, because the Loyalists were unfair (including King George), independence, and the Patriots had many events! Patriots are very interesting and fun to learn about! J
