Best Answer

In the United States, most of the time, a person had to choose between being loyal to King George and the British, or being loyal to the Colonials fighting for independence. There was usually no room for people who were undecided, middle of the road. You were forced to choose between loyalty and Independence. It was very difficult and many people suffered as a result. If you favored the King, you were attacked by people fighting for independence. If you favored independence, you were attacked by British soldiers. It was a very difficult time to be alive, and those who sided with the King, were often forced to leave the Colonies after the war ended and many of them went to Canada.

More and more seriously, especially on the Southern side.

Sherman's march across Georgia was aimed at despoiling the rich farmland, and the locals were so demoralised that they begged him to go and do the same thing to their sister-Confederate state of South Carolina - which he did, with pleasure.

(The second half of 'Gone with the Wind' probably answers your question better than I could.)
