Explanation:

Loyalists were those who remained loyal to the British Crown. They included older colonists (who often had more to lose economically and in terms of status tied to British rule), were against independence due to economic concerns or loss of military protection, and figures like governor James Wright (a British - appointed official).

Patriots were in favor of independence. Younger colonists (who might have seen more opportunities in a new nation), the Liberty Boys (a group advocating for independence), those who wanted to be free of the king's tyranny, wanted independence from Great Britain, wanted to make their own rules and laws, and supported the Revolutionary War (a war for independence) are all characteristics of Patriots.

Answer:

Loyalists: older colonists, against independence because of economic concerns or concerns about loss of military protection, governor James Wright
Patriots: wanted to be free of the king's tyranny, wanted independence from Great Britain, wanted to make their own rules and laws, liberty boys, younger colonists, supported the Revolutionary War
