patriot
I would be a patriot. I would be a patriot because I think the British are unfair and mean.They tax everything and they make you put a stamp on every piece of paper. This is called the stamp act. We stopped trusting the British so they kept British soldiers in every city and we were so angry we threw snow balls at the Redcoats.
