America Divided Patriotism Explainer
The original patriots come from the American Revolution, most often associated with figures such as Sam Adams and Benjamin Franklin. But enslaved people who advocated for abolition and members of native communities trying to recover or retain their sovereignty also saw themselves as patriots, said Nathaniel Sheidley, president and CEO of Revolutionary Spaces in Boston. The group runs the Old State House and Old South Meeting House, which played central roles in the revolution.
The hallmark of patriotism then, he said, was"a sense of self-sacrifice, of caring more about one’s neighbors and fellow community members than one’s self.”In some ways, the view of patriotism has always been on parallel tracks with civic and ethnic nationalism, historians say. Opposition to government and dissent have been common features of how patriotism has been defined, he said. He cited the example of Black military members who fought in World War II and advocated for civil rights when they returned. They also saw themselves as patriots.
