The Loyalists were colonist who were loyal to England. They wanted to stay with England. The Patriots on the other hand were colonist who wanted to break away from England and be free and have their independence. (Fun Fact: Put 5,318,008 in a calculator. Then turn it upsides down :)
The loyalists hated the patriots because the patriots were always tarring and feathering them.
Loyalists remained loyal (hence their name) to the Crown.
Unless someone was trying to hide their true feelings, as many felt the need to do, the loyalists professed support of the English Crown and military and the so-called Patriots were for independence, or at least local control of taxation.
because the patriots think that the loyalists are traitors to the colonists
Neutral ^ that's wrong loyalist is someone who was loyal to Great Brittan and a patriot was someone who was against Great Brittan. After the Revolutionary war the patriots won and that is how the 13 colonies became the USA.
During the Revolutionary war the people who lived in the colonies (U.S.) either sided with the King and staying under English rule - Loyalists - or they supported those who wrote the Declaration of Independence determined to become a free nation - Patriots.
