loyalist?
The loyalists believed it was OK to tax the colonies because they were British subjects. However, the patriots did not believe this was right because the rulers were so far away and had thus far allowed them to govern themselves.
Dicey (Laodicea) Langston was a 16 year old during the Revolutionary War and is considered a Patriot in her own right. She was a spy for the rebels, would hear what the Tories were up to and would cross the deep Enoree River in the dark of night to report to the revolutionary soldiers. Her patriotism to the American cause was so great it earned her the name of "Daring Dicey". Dicey later married one of the soldiers named Thomas Springfield and had 22 children. there is a monument today honoring her at Traveler's Rest in Greenville Co., SC. You can read more about her in the October 1975 edition of National Geographic.

the loyalist point of view on it was that they thought that the king had the right to tax the colonies because they were paying for their own protection against invasion. many were loyalist because they worked for the crown and they knew where the bread came from.
The Committee of Correspondence was initiated by the Patriot leaders of the thirteen colonies. The leaders included General George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Ethan Allen.

"Patriots" was the term used to for those who supported resistance to the policies of King George and his ministers and, later, independence from England. Of course, if you believed that King George the third, his ministers and Parliament and their policies were right, you might have considered yourself a patriot or, as they became known, Loyalists. And you might have considered the men who were meeting in Philadelphia at the Continental Congresses to discuss the rights that the colonists had under the British government were not fair and what to do about that, to be rebels. Had the Patriots lost, history likely would have remembered them as the Traitors, the Rebels, the Men of the Uprising of '75, or some other term, and the Loyalist might have been considered the real patriots.
because they believed that the king was always right.

What is meant by "loyalist" here? At this time a loyalist was any colonialist who was against breaking away from Great Britain, desiring to stay loyal to their nation. By signing the Declaration of Independence, one was publicly stating one's desire and right to establish a nation separate from Great Britain. There were those who may have started off as a loyalist and later became a rebel (or Patriot as they are now known), but by signing that document you were publicly stating that you were not loyal to the crown (your allegiance and obedience were no longer to it). Thus, no actual signers could be considered a loyalist at the time they signed it.
he was the person who was against british
