During the Revolutionary War in America, colonists picked sides for a variety of reasons. Some chose one side or another out of loyalty to family or their local community. Some chose sides based on calculations as to who was most likely to win. Some chose sides based on value-commitments and political (and philosophical) ideas; for example, many patriots believed that large, insensitive, oppressive government was a basic evil that must be fought, even if the fight does not promise to be successful.
