That depends on whose side you're on! The British and those who were loyal to Britain (Loyalists or Tories) would have called those colonists rebels or traitors. However, in American history, colonists who were sympathetic to the fight for independence were called Patriots. About 1/3 of all colonists supported England, another 1/3 were Patriots who wanted independence, and another 1/3 attempted to remain neutral.
