As my own definition, patriosim is a citizen's devotion to their country. It could also be well-defined as a citizen's natioal loyalty to their country through hope and possibly pride. Patrioism from the American Colonies came from their hope in achieving their goals of paying less or no taxes while holding tight to each others hands in confidence and hope. In 1763, not many colonists were patriotic towards their country because of their fear from the powerful king. However, through their uncomfort, their anger overpowered their their fear and decided, for the love of their country to defend themselves against the unloyal King.

Patriotism. Patriotism is a citizen love and pride to their country. The patriotism among the American colonies came from the successful of the French and Indian War. They thought they were stronger than ever and had the power to defeat the English. I believe that the Americans were patriotic in 1763 because that was the year the French and Indian War end. And they were victory and proud that they have won. The British was broke and blame the colonist and wanted them to pay for the debt. So he placed unfair taxes on the colonist and the colonist were not happy. So the colonist rebelled and boycotted the items of the British.

Patroitism I believe is ones adoration for their home land. A feeling of passion just to be a citizen of the country. The patroitism came from not only the success of the American and Indiam War but the colonists drive for justice they were not receiving from their own king and government. Most American colonists were not so patroitic at the time, they loved their country but at the same time they did not like the way the British handled things after the war; as if it were the colonists fault they were in debt. The Biitish began passing Acts to create enough revenue to cover the damage of the long war. The American colonists did not reaction happily to this happening; they were outraged they were being held accountable for something that wasn't of their doing. Colonists rebelled all taxes which did not sit well with Britain. This began to cause a dramatic amount of tension between the Americans and Britain. The taxes is what at the end of the war was the last straw for the colonists which caused the American Revolution to begin.
Patriotism (n.) - love for or devotion to ones country. Patriotism is a feeling. A feeling that one has just because they're a citizen of that place. That feeling of love and passion to see the dream they have come alive. And for it to thrive in all it's entirety. The patriotism in the American colonists comes from their want of equality in all areas, political as in government, social as in inter colonial relations, and economic, as in taxes and the British debt. Most of the Americans are patriotic in 1763. They finally got together and rebelled against unfair rule, and preservation of natural rights.
In my own definition, patriotism is the love, support, and loyalty one has for its country. The patriotism among the American colonies comes from the French and Indian War. The French and Indian War, helped them achieve independence and gain their rights. I think most American colonists were patriotic in 1763 because that was the year the French and Indian War ended. The American colonists gained independence and their natural rights which were life, liberty, and property, as a result of this.
Patriotism is a feeling of pride and love for one's country. Common acts of patriotism include erecting a flag of one's country in the home or yard. At first there weren't much American colonists who were patriotic in 1763 but as time went on they decided that it was only right to be proud about their victory in the French and Indian War.
Patriotism is the feeling of love and pride for the country. The reason the Americans had patriotism was because of the defeat during the French and Indian war. Because of their win they saw gained their pride for America. Most colonists were patriotic all because of the French and Indian war.
Patriotism is, "(Patriotic) Having or showing love of one’s country and devotion to its welfare." I agree with Pauline with the fact that patriotism among the colonies comes from the French and Indian war. Most American Colonists are patriotic in 1763 because as a result they had gained their independence and rights. Having that would make a lot more people happier and have a lot more of them have love for their country.
Patriotism to me means to have pride, love, and respect for your country. Near Independence Day and during the Olympics, I see American flags and flags from other countries where people came from in the windows of their house or in their front yards. Patriotism in the colonies started after their victory during the French and Indian War. It began to grow even more because the colonists were fed up with paying a heavy amount of taxes, including direct taxes, from Great Britain. After losing the French and Indian War to the colonists, the British were in a massive debt. In order to pay off their debt, they started taxing the Americans. Not every colonist in 1763 was patriotic, but the number of people who were began to increase because of how irritated they were about paying Britain's taxes. It was this reason that started the American Revolution.
Patriotism is to show pride and respect for where one lives. After the French-Indian War, Americans gained a lot of patriotism due to their victory against the French. The victory gave the Americans a sense of happiness and unity. The Americans were more patriotic for America and less patriotic for Britain because after the war, the British began heavily taxes the American colonists items.
I believe that patriotism is someones dedication and appreciation towards their country. The colonists patriotism started with rebellions when they felt mistreated and slowly started inspiring them to speak and stand up for themselves against things they believed were wrong. After the French and Indian war, when the British was heavily taxing the colonists the colonists finally had enough, they began boycotting British imports and refusing to pay taxes. This led to the American Revolution. 1763 was the year the French and Indian war ended so I think the colonists were patriotic.

Patriotism is love, support, and defense for one's country. It is the citizen's loyalty to their country. I believe Patriotism among the American Colonies slowly evolved through the tensions they had with Old England. Before the conflicts between Britain and the Colonies, the colonists' loyalty were still dedicated to the King in England. However, as tensions formed due to Britain's various laws passed against the Colonists and as the Colonists' yearning for independence skyrocketed, Patriotism among the colonies began to form. In 1763, most American Colonists were "Patriotic" in 1763 because this was when tensions between Britain and the Colonists took action.
