The statement "Representatives of the crown are corrupt and smug" suggests dissatisfaction with British authority, aligning more closely with Patriot sentiments.The statement "I am a slave, I hear that the British might give freedom to the slaves who support them" indicates a potential allegiance to the British in hopes of gaining freedom, which would align with Loyalist leanings.
