If you were a colonist in the mid-1770s would you have stood with the Patriots or the Loyalists? Write an argumentative essay in which you support your position. Use evidence from the information provided as well as your background knowledge in U. S. history to support your claim and counterclaim.

I would have stood with the patriots because British soldiers forcefully entered their homes. They also ramped up taxes over a petty war with France because they couldnt pay it themselves.

The Loyalists were brainwashed to the British king, because they were rich and privileged. So they could pay the very high taxes. This meant these guys didn't actually know how the people felt.

The British also ramped up the price of tea, which the colonists loved, just to be petty because the Patriots did not want to be taxed. Back then, the British were very petty. Now they're just jaded.

But back to the essay: The Patriots had a good cause. They wanted to move on from something chaining them down. The Loyalists did not. And I would want to happily tar some tax collectors. Wouldn't you?

step-by-step explanation:

substitution for (0,1)

y=x^2+4x+1

1=0^2+4(x)0+1

1=0+4(x)0+1

1=4(x)0+1

1=0+1

1=1

substitution for (-3,-2)

y=x+1

-2=-3+1

-2=-2
