When did the revolutionary war begin to turn into colonial victory?
The American Revolutionary War turned on Kings Mountain, South Carolina on October 7, 1780 when 900 militia from North Carolina and the Virginia backwoods, inflamed by British oppression pursued and cornered Major Patrick Ferguson and 1,100 loyalists. The Patriots cut Ferguson's forces to pieces, killing 225, wounding 163 and taking more than 700 prisoners. The Americans lost only 28 with 63 wounded. With his auxiliary force destroyed, Lord Cornwallis was forced to retreat and resume a defensive strategy. This victory occurred at the bleakest time for the Patriots and turned sentiment around. Patriots started to think that if we could win here, we could win in other places. This was the turning point in the American Revolutionary War. Saratoga is often cited as the turning point because it convinced Louis XVI to send troops and supplies, and to finance the American Revolution.

Loyalist were around during what war?
During the American Revolutionary War, some writers call the people loyal to the king Loyalists, some call them Tories. Some call those opposed to the king, Patriots, some call them, Whigs. The categories were not hard and fast. When the war started, the Cherokee Indians all fought for the British. They lost a few battles. They voted to leave the war. Then one third of the Cherokee entered the war on the American side. In the beginning of the war, many Christians sided with the King. Then the king demanded that in order to buy or sell anything everyone had to have a piece of paper in his hand or on his forehead. At that point, he alienated the church members, his strongest supporters. The strongest loyalists turned to patriots. When Banastre Tarleton used his scorched earth policy during the Revolutionary War, a number of Loyalist became Patriots. So those siding with England at a particular time are Loyalists.
