Whigs
The Whigs and the Tories were England's principal political parties. The two were on opposing sides of the issues many times.
During the American Revolutionary War, The Americans called the colonists on the American side Whigs and those on the British side Tories. The English term used for those on the British side is Loyalists. Many American books are now going over to the terms Patriots and Loyalists. (The terms Whigs and Tories were borrowed from England. The Tories supported the King. The Whigs supported Parliament. Only, in the United States, the Whigs supported the Continental Congress.)
In "Johnny Tremain," many Whigs left Boston due to the increasing tensions between the colonies and the British government, particularly after the Intolerable Acts were enacted. These acts intensified feelings of oppression and led to fears of British retaliation against colonial protests. The Whigs sought greater freedom and a chance to organize resistance against British rule, leading some to relocate to safer areas where they could continue their activism without the threat of arrest or violence.
The whigs from the North were known as Conscience Whigs and those of the South were known as Cotton Whigs. The ones in the north opposed slavery except for the factory owners, which liked slavery die to the cheap cotton. the Southern Whigs supported slavery and wished to expand it into the territories.
