The American rebels in the American Revolution were fighting for their rights and their country against the mother country, Britain. On the other hand, the Loyalists remained supportive of Britain against the rebels in the war.
Loyalists were those in support of the British Parliament (loyal to Britain) during the American Revolution. Patriots were in support of America's independence (rebels) and fought the British.
The Patriots used several terms to refer to the loyalists. Loyalists were often refered to as Tories, King's Men, and Royalists.
During The Revolutionary War, people either sided with the king, loyalists, or people who wanted freedom, patriots. Neutralists were the group who sided with any, they simply did not really care!
The audience were both loyalists who were unsure in joining the American rebels and the rebels who were leaning towards the side of the loyalists. It was written in such a way that common people could interpret concepts and to promote the rebellion. The technique was to use what Thomas Paine thought was "common sense" to persuade people into believing what he expected to be an obvious thing.
the patriots vs the loyalists started because the revolutionary war was about to start, and was inevitable. This resulted in a split in the people, patriots wanting to secede from England, and the loyalists wanting America to stay with England
