	Patriot (American Revolution) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Patriots (also known as Partisans, Whigs or Rebels) were British North American colonists who rebelled against the Crown during the American Revolution and established the independent states that became the United States of America.
		Many Patriots were active before the American Revolutionary War, such as the Sons of Liberty.
		The most prominent leaders of the Patriots are revered to this day by Americans as Founding Fathers of the United States.

	The Old Cause by Joseph Stromberg
		From the British standpoint, the American militia were "the sand in the gears of the pacification machine."
		He compared the war to "a game of draughts" and although he never ceased to call for the creation of an effective army, he realized that the loss of any particular piece of real estate such as Philadelphia or Charleston was not decisive in a revolutionary war.
		The "American synthesis" – as Robert Shalhope calls it – was a perhaps imprecise fusion of republican theory, Lockean liberalism, English law, and Protestantism.

	1756-1776: The Seven Years War to the American Revolution
		The British Government had borrowed heavily from British and Dutch bankers to finance the war, and as a consequence the national debt almost doubled from £75 million in 1754 to £133 million in 1763.
		Given Britain’s exertions on the North American continent for the sake of colonial security, both ministers and members of Parliament determined that the colonies were obligated to share the costs of empire.
		It was a conscious effort to shift the balance of power in colonial government; by liberating royal officials from their financial dependence on American legislatures, Townshend hoped to eliminate the most tangible obstacle preventing regular enforcement of parliamentary laws and royal directives.

	From revolution to Reconstruction: Essays: The American Whig Party (1834-1856): Historical Background (1/2)
		The Whig Party, in the United States, was for most of its history concerned with promoting internal improvements, such as roads, canals, railroads, deepening of rivers, etc. This was of interest to many Westerners in this period, isolated as they were and in need of markets.
		The designation of British loyalists during the American Revolution - as Tories - is well known.
		And many on the revolutionary side must have identified with the English Whigs, which continued to be the party in favor of Parliament's keeping the king in check.

	American Revolution Journal - 1778
		If the American army is to be annihilated, and the cause of our country sacrificed to gratify individual ambition, then is there a faction ripe for the execution of the object.
		At the commencement of the war, a considerable proportion of our officers, it is presumed, engaged in the service from the purest motives of patriotism; some doubtless were actuated by pecuniary views, or influenced by the novelty of the employment, and with the expectation that the contest would be of short continuance.
		Britain, who boasts of her bravery, her progress in the polite arts, and generosity of temper, has, in her manner of conducting the war in America, most infamously outraged all the laws of humanity, and set an example of savage brutality, detestable to every civilized people, and to every friend of human kind.
