Dialogue between a patriot and a Loyalist Loyalist: I can’t believe why you want the colonies to break away from the British Empire. It's just not a smart idea. Patriot: Not a smart idea? I will tell you why it's a smart idea. Loyalist: Okay, but you need to hear my side of it too. A strong unified British Empire is good for everyone. It ensures a stable economy and provides protection. Without the mighty empire, there would be war and chaos. There will be crime and disease if there is…
