Patriot (American Revolution) Patriots (also known as Revolutionaries, Continentals, Rebels, or American Whigs) were those colonists of the Thirteen Colonies who rebelled against British control during the American Revolution and in July 1776 declared the United States of America an independent nation.
To me, the citizen who runs around waving the American flag, pledges his support to the government in Washington, and goes along with what that government says is the same thing as what the colonials used to call a loyalist.. We Americans never used the word patriot to describe anybody who was a loyalist.
