Are you a "Whig" or a "Tory"? Remember those terms from your history classes in school?

'
*The term "Tory" or "Loyalist" was used in the American Revolution to include those who remained loyal to the British Crown. Since early in the 18th century, "Tory" had described those upholding the right of the King (President) over parliament (Congress). During the revolution, particularly after the Declaration of Independence in 1776, this use was extended to cover anyone who remained loyal to the British Crown (Whitehouse).

*Early activists (Conservatives) in the colonies called themselves "Whigs", seeing themselves as in alliance with the political opposition in Britain (Washington), until they turned to independence and started emphasising the label "Patriots". Later, the United States Whig Party was founded in 1833, focused on opposition to a strong presidency, just as the British Whigs had opposed a strong monarchy.
