On July 4, 1776, our founding fathers sat down at Independence Hall and wrote the Declaration of Independence. This was written to free themselves of the king of England and his high taxes on things such as tea and postage stamps. People who agreed to this wanted freedom were called Patriots. People who disagreed and wished to stay loyal to the king were called Loyalists.
