Whigs (Revolutionary)
Whigs (Revolutionary) American opponents of Parliamentary taxes imposed on the colonies termed themselves Whigs, which was the name of the English political party given primary credit for preserving representative government by the Revolution of 1688, framing England’s Bill of Rights (1689), and opposing those who favored a Jacobite, Catholic monarchy. The term carried over into the Revolutionary War for supporters of the Continental Congress.
