PATRIOTS VS
LOYALISTS
The colonists should help pay Great
Britain for the French and Indian war
debt.
“No Taxation without Representation” is
a false argument.
The colonists should have total control
over who taxes them (colonial assemblies
or Parliament).
The colonists should have total control
over how tax money is spent.
The colonists can defeat
Great Britain because they
have home-ground advantage.
The colonists cannot win a
war with Great Britain because
the British have the most
powerful army and navy in the
world.
The colonists do not have the
money to form and maintain a
national army and navy.
Should the colonists win a
war with Great Britain, they will
not have the capacity to defend
themselves against France and
Spain in North America.
Being part of the British
empire gives the colonists
access to goods from all over
the world.
The colonists have a secure
market in Great Britain for their
goods and raw materials.
Should the colonists win a
war with Great Britain, it will
be difficult to develop
international trade relations
and thus the economy will
suffer.
An increase in control by
the British government
should not alone justify
going to war.
An imperfect situation is
better than the unknown.
 If the war is lost, some
of the most intelligent,
respected leaders in the
colonies will be hanged.
The colonist’s rights as English
subjects are limited by the English bill
of rights.
The Patriots have exaggerated
problems with Great Britain.
The colonists have repeatedly
petitioned the King and Parliament to
hear their grievances, but were either
ignored or answered with more British
control.
As John Locke stated, government is a
contract. The king has failed to uphold
his end of the contract as the protector of
the colonies.
Britain has allowed the colonists more
rights and privileges than any other
nation on earth. The Patriots act like
spoiled children expecting more and
giving less than those in Great Britain.
The King is chosen by God. Treason
against the King is treason against God.
The colonists basic rights are being
eroded. They are no longer guaranteed
trials at the place of the crime and troops
are being quartered in their homes.
