Loialists believe that independence movements should be ended, as they opposed the control of the English crown in American territory. They argued that those who sought independence acted against the will of God, disrespected the king, promoted violence and would cause a tyrannical government to establish itself in A, erica. In addition, they believed that independence would cause America to have economic problems, as it would lose participation in British mercantilism.
Patriots, on the other hand, believed that independence was the best for America. They argued that the English crown was already establishing a tyrannical government, did not allow America to have representation in parliament, exploited American wealth and that independence was God's will for a territory as large and rich as America.
