It is a fallacy to think that the colonists were unified because they weren't. A large percentage were neutral and until they were affected by the war they did very little. 90% of the colonies were farmers so they lived in rural areas and in small towns away from the larger cities like Boston. The men who wanted change was a small group and the higher educated of the colonies. For many colonists to complain about the king was treason because EVERYONE was British.
