Was Molly Pitcher a loyalist or patriot?

Molly Pitcher was a patriot. Her husband was a soldier in the Revolutionary war, and, sometimes even during battles, would carry a pitcher of water to give the parched men a drink. They would say Molly.....Pitcher when they needed a drink (molly pitcher wasn't her real name, it was a nickname). During a major battle, when her husband was shot at the cannon and badly injured, she took the helm and fought in the battle herself, despite the fact that she was a woman. Some regarded her as a war hero.
