B) American patriots were rebels who wanted independence from Britain, while American loyalists were loyal to the British crown.
Explanation:
The American patriots were the people that wanted the American colonies to become independent from Britain. Most of them became Patriots because they felt they were not being treated fairly by the British with high taxes.
The Loyalists were the ones that did not want independence from Britain and remain a British citizen. Many believed that life would be better if they continued to remain under British rule. Many were workers from the crown, others believed the colonies did not have a strong economy.
