The Whig Party didn’t have its origins in the United States. In fact, the Whig Party was created in England. Similar to the United States having the Republican and Democratic Party, England also had two parties at the time. The two parties were the Tories and the Whigs.

The Tories referred the “rebels” (also called the revolutionaries) as against the oath and taking arms against the king of England (Hoffer, 449). The loyalist’s belief was very conservative.
