What is a Patriot?

Patriots lived in the thirteen colonies that rejected British Rule.  In July of 1776, the United States of America declared itself as an independent nation.  Some patriots served in militias, while others enlisted with the Continental Army; some came from big cities and others from small towns; some were soldiers, sailors or spies, while others were civilian officials or behind-the-scenes supporters.
