To answer Jilliane Smith;
I’m a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. As I understand it, the term “Patriot” usually only applies when loyalties were questions for everyone, as in the time preceding and during the American Revolution. Forever after that time on US soil, being a Patriot is a given, and distinctions were specifically made for traitors. If you were Traitor, then you are no longer considered a Patriot. Otherwise, we’re all Patriots here.
