Answer:
In the 1770s, there were two main political groups in the Thirteen Colonies: the Patriots and the Loyalists.
Explanation:
-The Patriots were the pro-independence inhabitants of the Thirteen Colonies who rebelled against British control of the country during the American Revolution. Their rebellion was based on the philosophy of republicanism, expressed by men like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Thomas Paine. It is estimated that at least 45% of the population of the Thirteen Colonies supported the rebellion for independence against the British.
-Loyalists were the American colonists who remained loyal to the Kingdom of Great Britain and the British monarchy during the American Revolution. Some historians have estimated that 15-20% of the white population was loyalist (between 450,000 and 600,000 inhabitants of the Thirteen Colonies).
