Question

What main political groups existed in the colonies in the 1770 and how did they get there names 

Answer 1

The right answer is "The Patriots and the Loyalists."

These two political parties emerged within the 13 British colonies that were in American territory. Many people within the colonies felt discontent with the way in which Britain administered the colonies and began to experience feelings of hostility and the desire to achieve independence, the political party that shared this ideal were the Patriots. On the other hand, the Loyalists was the political party that wanted the continuity of the colonies and considered the government of Great Britain fair.

This provoked a war of independence between 1765 and 1783 that finally resulted in the independence of the colonies from the control of Great Britain.

Answer 2

Answer:

In the 1770s, there were two main political groups in the Thirteen Colonies: the Patriots and the Loyalists.

Explanation:

-The Patriots were the pro-independence inhabitants of the Thirteen Colonies who rebelled against British control of the country during the American Revolution. Their rebellion was based on the philosophy of republicanism, expressed by men like Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Thomas Paine.  It is estimated that at least 45% of the population of the Thirteen Colonies supported the rebellion for independence against the British.

-Loyalists were the American colonists who remained loyal to the Kingdom of Great Britain and the British monarchy during the American Revolution. Some historians have estimated that 15-20% of the white population was loyalist (between 450,000 and 600,000 inhabitants of the Thirteen Colonies).
