Why do Americans seem to dislike NATIONALISM. Were the founders of America PATRIOTS, or NATIONALISTS?

I don't know why the answer would be 'patriots'.

Patriotism is blind love and passion for your nation, dedication to your country.

Sure, the founders of America were patriots AFTER the United States declared its independence.

But, what were they BEFORE America's independence?

Considering America was a colony owned by Great Britain and still technically belonged to Britain, wouldn't this mean American's founders were NATIONALISTS/REVOLUTIONISTS?

Nationalist =

na·tion·al·ist/ˈnaSH(ə)nələst/

noun

a person who advocates political independence for a country.

pa·tri·ot/ˈpātrēət/

noun

a person who vigorously supports their country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.

How can Americans love patriotism so much, but hate nationalism?

Their country was founded by nationalists who were against the British patriots/loyalists.

Update:

Also, that's another thing.

Why would any American be a patriot when that's NOT the values that America was founded on?

The founders were nationalists turned patriots, but they still started out as nationalists and this can and should not be ignored...

Update 2:

@J.J:

You're right, they were more than nationalists, they were rebels.

And yet most Americans seem to like patriotism and look down on rebels.

America looks down on Socialists and Communists who want change.

Socialists and Communists and Anarchists could also be seen as 'rebels' because they are against Capitalism...

    They were not Nationalists before they declared Independence,

    They were TRAITORS

    but to the winners go the spoils and so they were heroes and patriots

    They were neither. They were British colonists.
