How did the two sides in the american revolution differ?

There were two sides to the American Revolution and they were the colonists and the loyalists. The colonists did not want to pay higher taxes to a government where the colonists had no representatives. They also did not want to pay high taxes to fund the war British were waging against the French. They also did not like being told what to buy and what to sell and where to sell. But the loyalists thought that it would be the same after getting freedom since they were of the opinion that the colonists were not fit for running a government. They were also insecure about being protected from other countries aggressions.
