Both groups thought that parliament was more then they could handle because of taxes. None of the two groups liked taxes and wanted to do away with them.
But loyalists remained loyal to the king and did as they were told without arguments.
As Patriots took a stand!
The patriots and loyalists technically fought during the Revolutionary war. Although the war was mostly patriots vs Britain, the loyalists and patriots fought. One example Is Kings Mountain.
Loyalists and patriots were all Americans however, loyalists supported Brittan and patriots were all for America
No, they were not. When the Patriots abused and expelled the Loyalists, they did to them exactly what the British had been doing.
The Loyalists wanted to be ruled by Great Britain and the Patriots wanted to be free from Great Britain.
Their enemies were the Patriots, the Patriots were the colonists. A group of people who fought for the thirteen colonies. The Loyalists thought of them as untrained soldiers, and they were correct. From an Americans point of view a Loyalist was a traitor who turned against the colonists to go with the British government.
I say they were mostly loyalists.

Loyalists were loyal to the British crown, they probably wouldn't have liked the patriots, but respected their need to defend their country and agreed that their sense was okay, but still thought they were supporting the wrong country.
The loyalists hated the patriots because the patriots were always tarring and feathering them.
Loyalists remained loyal (hence their name) to the Crown.
After the Revolutionary War ended, Loyalists mostly returned to England, "switched" sides, were allowed to peacefully go to England, or were forced out of town by former Patriots.
because the patriots think that the loyalists are traitors to the colonists
Americans supported patriots. They (the Americans) were excited about the Declaration of Independence. Patriots agreed on independence. Loyalists were loyal to the King. They did NOT want to do whatever they wanted to, they wanted to do as the King said.
The patriots tarred and feathered the loyalists. They also ruined loyalist houses.
The Loyalists wanted to be ruled by Great Britain and the Patriots wanted to be free from Great Britain.
What have in common the Patriots and the Loyalists?
