==Appearances==
During the events of the Boston Tea Party, [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] and the [[Sons of Liberty]] dumped crates of the [[East India Company]]'s tea into the ocean. Groups of Patriots, aided by [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]], helped to keep the [[British Army|British Regulars]] at bay whilst the tea was being thrown overboard.

Patriots were Colonists who united against the British Government in the Revolutionary War. Although, at the time of the Revolution 'Patriot' was something of a negative term. What we call Patriots today were more likely to be called "Whigs" – or, if you were a [[Loyalists|Loyalist]], "rebels".

*''[[Assassin's Creed: Nexus VR]]''
The Patriot motto was "No Taxation without Representation" – a great phrase for rabble-rousing, though a poor choice of catchphrase for, say, a gameshow host.
 
It's also a phrase that requires a bit of unpacking for a [[Modern times|modern]] audience (By which [[Shaun Hastings|I]] mean you, [[Desmond Miles|Desmond]]). The colonies didn't elect representatives to the British legislature, and because of the travel distance between Britain and America, and the distinct lack of aeroplanes, it wouldn't have been practical. Instead Patriots wanted to be governed by representatives within the colonies. Of course, they did have legislatures already – but those were rather prone to being shut down by British-appointed Governors whenever they didn't behave properly (read: do exactly what the governor wanted).


It's hard to know how many people in the colonies were Patriots, the best guess is between 40 and 45% of the population. The rest were either declared Loyalists, or people who decided to remain tactically neutral (probably a wise choice, given that both sides were known for seizing the property of their enemies).

The Patriots were the colonists of the thirteen British North American colonies who violently rebelled against British control during the American Revolution.

The rebellion, ignited by the Boston Tea Party, gave way for the American Revolutionary War. The Continental Congress, consisting of Patriot delegates, created the Continental Army to combat the British Crown's forces, with the colonies soon declaring war with the British Army against political misrepresentation. Following the conflicts, the Patriot leadership signed the Declaration of Independence in July 1776, paving the way for the creation of the United States.
