There were two sides to the American Revolution and they
were the colonists and the loyalists. The colonists did not want to pay higher
taxes to a government where the colonists had no representatives. They also did
not want to pay high taxes to fund the war British were waging against the
French. They also did not like being told what to buy and what to sell and
where to sell. But the loyalists thought that it would be the same after
getting freedom since they were of the opinion that the colonists were not fit
for running a government. They were also insecure about being protected from
other countries aggressions.
