The correct answer to this open question is the following.
If you were a colonist, I definitively had boycotted the British taxes. I would have considered myself as a Patriot, not a Loyalist.
Let's remember that Patriots were the American colonists that supported the independence of the 13 colonies from the British crown. Loyalists were colonists that supported the British rule and were loyal to the king f England.
I would have joined the many colonists that were infuriated by the heavy taxation imposed by the English government. Taxation such as the Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Townshend Act, or the Tea Act.
And my major claim would have been that I had to pay those injust taxes but we did not have a voice or representation in the British Parliament.
