Why were the Loyalists and Patriots important to the Colonists?

uring the American Revolutionary War, the people living in the Thirteen American Colonies had to decide whether they wanted to break away from British rule and gain independence or remain British citizens. These two groups were the Patriots and the Loyalists.

Explanation:

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
