If you are talking about America, then Great Britain. Great Britain told the Americans that they were the "mother country" and the colonists were "children". The colonists soon grew tired of being "children" and having their "mother" tax them on goods, as well as freedoms. So they decided to revolt.

Who was the Patriots during the Revolutionary War?
Okay, here goes: The patriots were descendants of the Pilgrims and they lived in America, or the New World. At that time, America was ruled by England. The Patriots didn't want to be ruled by England anymore. They wanted their own country and to set up government for themselves. King George (who ruled England at that time) didn't want to give up his ownership and government of America, so that became a big fight between the Patriots and the Loyalists, who were followers of the king. That fight became known as the Revolutionary War, and it is definitely the most important war in the history of the U.S.A.

Many people, Patriots and Loyalists alike, died during the Revolutionary War, and our country is forever grateful to them.
