They agreed with the king who stated that he was doing it to help the colonists by blocking off the hostile Indians from invading. The colonists were moving to the west(where they were promised land by winning the French and Indian War) but there were Indians living there that killed them, or drove them back. The king didn't want the Indians stealing the colonists' land, and he didn't want the colonists killed. He was going to try to make peace with the Indians, so that they'd get the land as a gift instead of by force. This didn't work out because then the colonists started the Revolutionary War.

For years it was widely believed that one third favored the Revolution, one third opposed it, and one third were undecided. This stems from an estimate made by John Adams in his personal writings in 1815. Historians have since concluded that Adams was referring to American attitudes toward the French Revolution, not ours.
