It was, and still is, part of the beliefs of all Native American's to help others.
This is true but after a while they started not getting along. One of the first wars, if not , the first war on American soil after the Pilgrims arrived was King Philip's War. Prince Philip was the nick name the early settlers gave Metacom, leader of the Wampanogs. And as stated in Wikipedia -
"800 out of 52,000 English colonists (1 out of every 65) and 3,000 out of 20,000 natives (3 out of every 20) lost their lives due to the war, which makes it proportionately one of the bloodiest and most costly in the history of America."

Why did about one third of the colonists choose not to take sides on declaring independence from Great Britain?
In any revolution the majority do not wish to become involved. Most revolutions in history have been carried out by a small but determined part of the general population. The American revolution was about taxation. The taxation was imposed to pay for the very high costs of protecting the British settlers in America from the French and Native Indians. The settlers could not or would not defend themselves. So it was by no means clear that the uprising was justified or that the colonies would be able survive the combined threat from the French army and native population. If the New England colonies had not been so determined the other colonies would have been happy with the situation as it was.
