Explanation:

1. An American colonist who sided with the British during the Revolutionary War is called a Loyalist. A person who dies for what he or she believes is a martyr. An American colonist who rejected British rule is a Patriot.
2. The British expecting colonists to pay for an expensive war (the French - and - Indian War) was a major grievance leading to the Revolutionary War. The killing of Crispus Attucks and others in a struggle with British soldiers is known as the Boston Massacre. Black Patriots enlisting for freedom and a British officer's emancipation promise were factors related to the role of enslaved and indentured people in the conflict.
