whigs
The Whigs and the Tories were England's principal political parties. The two were on opposing sides of the issues many times.
Tories
In Georgia, the division between Whigs and Tories during the American Revolution stemmed from differing attitudes towards British rule and independence. Whigs, who supported the rebellion, were motivated by Enlightenment ideals and a desire for self-governance, while Tories remained loyal to the British crown, often due to economic ties or fear of instability. Additionally, regional factors, such as the state's agricultural economy and relationships with Native American tribes, influenced individual allegiances, leading to a significant split in loyalty among the population. This conflict reflected broader national tensions during the revolutionary period.

The MP's that became known as the Tories were the King's allies in parliament. The Whigs, who were the opposition nicknamed the government 'Tories' originally as an insult after a notorious band of thieves and bandits from Donegal in Ireland.
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.)

Johnny Tremain is a fictional character born prior to the American Revolution. The novel, set in Boston, prior to and during the Revolution focuses on apprenticeship, courtship, sacrifice, human rights, and the growing tension between Whigs and Tories.
The Whigs wanted independence from Britain while the Tories didn't think independence was necessary. The Tories (or Loyalists) didn't want to have to worry about fending for themselves. They weren't ready for independence.
False. You are thinking of England, maybe. There never was a Tory party in the US and the Whigs broke up about 1855.
