The correct response is: The patriots resented the actions of the British and anyone loyal to them.
During the Revolutionary War, the tension between patriots (those who wanted independence from Britain) and loyalists (those who remained loyal to the Crown) was particularly pronounced in the South. The patriots often viewed loyalists as traitors to the cause, leading to conflicts and violence between the two groups.
