Detailed explanation-1: -The Loyalists were every bit as angry with the Stamp Act and the Coercive Acts as the most devoted Patriot. They protested the taxes, refused to purchase British tea, and many attended the Stamp Act Congress in 1765 and the Continental Congresses in 1774 and 1775.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Loyalists, standing below the Sons of Liberty, are determined to behave as if they, too, did not want trade or tea from England. Most British prints fail to reflect the real division in the colonies; some people wanted to remain loyal to the crown but were under intense pressure to declare independence.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many inhabitants fled the city as a result of this, as well as the constant threat of attack by revolutionary forces. Just a third of the city’s population remained by mid-July 1775. The Boston Tea Party is awful, disgraceful, and terrible in loyalist opinion! The Boston Tea Party was a heinous crime.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Sons of Liberty. Famous Boston Patriots who were members of the Sons of Liberty included John Adams, John Hancock, James Otis, Josiah Quincy, Paul Revere, and Dr. Joseph Warren.
