Most of the population in the late 1700's lay in the cities, which were typically seaports and therefore hubs of commerce, industry, and trade. With the first colonists landing in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, before establishing Boston and then onward into New England, more patriots lived in the Boston area as New York-New Jersey had a sizable Royalist contingent amongst them.
"If you are Patriotic then you believe that Your country is a good one..........Most people are, because treachery is ignobe, I guess." That is only half - true. The Patriots were people back during the Revolutionary who didn't like how they ruled and wanted to govern themselves, basically.
The Patriots and the Tories were two groups of people during the American Revolution. The Patriots were a group of "rebels" against the King(George III) and wanted freedom and independence in America. The Tories were "loyalists", that is, loyal to the King. They were against independence in America and were proud of being British. They most likely just didn't want conflict with Britain during this time.
Some people were imprisoned for being loyalists during the Revolutionary War. Most of then were put in jail for actually helping the British.
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. Of course, the Patriots eventually won the war, but that was not without many years of arduous living, always having to be ready to get up with their guns and fight. Many people, Patriots and Loyalists alike, died during the Revolutionary War, and our country is forever grateful to them.
The British controlled most of the major seaports during the war. The ports they did not control were blockaded.
The Revolutionary patriots are the people who are not loyal to the king and to a side to be free and Independent. Most patriots were not nice to the loyalist because they did what the king said. The patriots wanted freedom and Independence.
Most patriots were armed with the Flintlock musket.
