• During the American Revolution, the
American colonists had to decide to
support the War for Independence or
remain loyal to the British and King
George III. Many did not take
a side.
YOUR TURN
Create a metaphor for one event
from the American Revolutionary
War Period.
Let’s take a closer look
• Those who
supported
independence from
Britain were known
as Patriots.
• Colonists who
opposed
independence from
Britain were known
as Loyalists. They
supported Great
Britian and it’s laws.
• Some Americans
could not decide
which side to
choose and
remained neutral
during the war.
(We will call them
fence-sitters because
they did not care
enough to pick a
side.)
supported (wanted)
independence from Great
Britain
loyal to the King (king George
III) as the ruler of the English
colonies in America.
neutral- not supporting or favoring either side

In groups of 3-4, you will read the “Patriot,
Loyalist, or Neutral? You Decide” worksheet.
Read the individual biographies and using your
knowledge of who the Patriots, Loyalists and
neutrals were decide whether an individual
was a Patriot, Loyalist, or was neutral.
For each biography, they must explain why
they made their decision.
• During the American Revolution both the
American Continental Army and the British
Army had spies to keep track of their
enemy.
• You have been hired by the British to
recruit a spy in the colonies.
• You must choose your spy from one of
colonists discussed in class.
• When making your decision use the following criteria:
1. The spy cannot be someone who the Patriots mistrust.
The spy should be a person who appears to agree with
the Patriots.
2. The spy should live in a populated area where the
Patriots are active and can report on Patriot activity. A
colonist in a rural area will have little information to
provide.
3. The spy should need something from the British, either
money or military protection, to tempt him or her to risk
his or her life.
• Which colonist will make the best spy?
