Patriots, on the other hand, were far more successful in attracting support in the long run.
Patriotic Americans won the propaganda war. Correspondence Committees persuaded many hesitant patriots to join the cause. Writings such as Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" fueled an increase in American nationalism.
Patriots, also known as Whigs, were colonists who opposed British monarchical rule. Their rebellion was founded on republicanism, a social and political philosophy that rejected monarchy and aristocracy - essentially, inherited power.
Most Patriots supported independence because they believed that recent British laws affecting the American colonies violated their rights as British subjects (for example, taxing without consent, quartering soldiers in citizens' homes, and denying colonists the right to a trial).
