Loyalist vs Patriot: You Choose

In this lesson, students will be able to distinguish the difference between a Loyalist and a Patriot. Students will also analyze why some colonists remained neutral throughout the colonization of America leading into the American Revolution, eventually being made to choose a side. Students will analyze both political perspectives, using geographic skills to locate the countries that a Loyalist and Patriot represent (using a map), and to determine why these groups were loyal to their respective ideologies.
