Answer: B

Step-By-Step: The patriots wish to separate themselves from England for mistreating the colonies. A Loyalist is someone who is loyal to England and doesn't wish to fight them. A minuteman is someone who fought England on the colonies grounds. (You can probably guess what the answer is). A traitor is pretty much the same as a loyalist so I will not get into it as there are too many different ways to put it.

Olive Branch: The Olive Branch treaty was designed to prevent a full-on war with England. Was written by Thomas Jefferson.
