Okay, here goes: The patriots were descendants of the Pilgrims and they lived in America, or the New World. At that time, America was ruled by England. The Patriots didn't want to be ruled by England anymore. They wanted their own country and to set up government for themselves. King George (who ruled England at that time) didn't want to give up his ownership and government of America, so that became a big fight between the Patriots and the Loyalists, who were followers of the king. That fight became known as the Revolutionary War, and it is definitely the most important war in the history of the U.S.A. Of course, the Patriots eventually won the war, but that was not without many years of arduous living, always having to be ready to get up with their guns and fight. Many people, Patriots and Loyalists alike, died during the Revolutionary War, and our country is forever grateful to them.
