The trade in the colonies was still dependent of England. Some Loyalists were just afraid that without England, they would have no more protection and the threat of natives would only grow. Patriots opposed Loyalists and were very radical. They wanted to break away from Britain. They no longer felt that their King was being fair to them and that they should react to his injustice. Even though there were many differences in beliefs, a sense of identity was growing. The society in the colonies was very different from the one in Britain. It was much more open and not as strict. It was easier to move up in society. Even if they tried to keep British customs, it could never happen. They were too far away and had dealt with a lot more than most in Britain. They came to a new world and settled it. Being a colonist alone was very different than being English. Edmund Burke said that there was not a single Trait of Resemblance between the few colonies and Britain. Throughout their experience as settlers, a sense of identity grew and let them believed that they were becoming too different to be ruled under England. .
This new feeling of identity brought many people together. Even though at first, none of the colonies would have come together, the feeling came later on. Even when there were conflicts, the colonies wouldn't join together. During the French-Indian War, in 1754, Benjamin Franklin had proposed the Albany Plan of Unity but it was quickly rejected by all the colonies. Under this plan, America would come together under one general government. Even though the colonies would be able to keep their own charters, they feared the fact that some of their powers would go to a "president general." Even when Benjamin Franklin urged everyone to unite, using a political cartoon of a snake saying Join or Die, no one would join. Benjamin Franklin believed that the colonies would have to join to defeat the French or else they would die.
