The #Progressives would have been satisfied had we lost the War to #Britain and remained under King Georges rule. They never appreciated the US #Constitution & have been arguing against it from its birth. During the American #Revolution, people had to decide which side to support. #Colonists for independence from England were usually called revolutionaries or whigs. But some Americans thought that to break away from the British government would not be right; they usually were called loyalists or tories. Americans today call the revolutionaries patriots, a word meaning “those who love their country.” Because we cherish our country’s independence, we value the revolutionaries as heroes.
