Detailed explanation-1: -How Thomas Paine’s ‘Common Sense’ Helped Inspire the American Revolution. The 47-page pamphlet took colonial America by storm in 1776 and made critical arguments for declaring independence from England.
Detailed explanation-2: -Loyalists believed in peaceful reconciliation but were met with insults and mistrust because they did not believe in the Patriot cause. Most Patriots resisted enlisting African Americans to the cause, but the British had no such hesitations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Loyalists wanted to pursue peaceful forms of protest because they believed that violence would give rise to mob rule or tyranny. They also believed that independence would mean the loss of economic benefits derived from membership in the British mercantile system. Loyalists came from all walks of life.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Patriots were those colonials who were growing weary of British rules and policies, especially when they had no say in how these laws would be made or implemented. They strived for freedom from a tyrannical royal government, often led by Royal Governors who suppressed any utterance of rebellion.
