Patriots and Loyalists
In response to the Declaration of Independence, two main sides emerged: the Patriots and the Loyalists. The Patriots supported independence from British rule and favored self-governance, believing in the principles of liberty and democracy. In contrast, the Loyalists remained loyal to the British crown, favoring the continuation of British governance and order, often fearing chaos and instability that could arise from independence.
During the Founding Period of the United States, two basic sides emerged in the ongoing debate concerning the privileges and responsibilities (and so forth) of the American government. The Federalists favored a very strong central (or, federal) government that would oversee each state in the union. The Anti-Federalists, by contrast, favored a weaker central government, with each state in the union having the most privilege (and responsibility) in respect to governance within its boundaries.The Declaration of Independence divided the Colonists into patriots and loyalists. The patriots wanted freedom from British rule, while the loyalists wanted to remain loyal to the King.
