Colonial Perspectives: Loyalist or Patriot

Pretend you are living in the time when America was made up of colonies under British rule. Some people want to fight Britain for independence, while others think it's better to stay peaceful. Are you a loyalist who wants to stay with Britain or a patriot who wants to fight for freedom? Write a paragraph about your choice. Start with a sentence that tells us if you're a loyalist or a patriot. Then, give three reasons why you think this is the best choice. Finish with a sentence that wraps up your ideas. Make sure to explain your reasons so your friends can understand why you chose to be a loyalist or a patriot.
