No, they were actually one in the same. The 2 main political parties in England at the time were Tories (conservative) and Whigs (liberal). The same 2 political parties existed in Colonial America only they were divided along different lines, the Tories being loyal to the throne and the Whigs (being the smart ones) wanted independence.
