He wanted to assess the viability of the American cause and gauge whether the colonists could achieve a decisive victory against Britain.

Those in the thirteen colonies who chose to remain loyal to Britain, known as Loyalists or Tories, faced significant challenges during and after the American Revolution. Many were subjected to social ostracism, violence, and property confiscation by their Patriot neighbors. Some Loyalists fled to Canada or Britain to escape persecution, while others stayed and attempted to rebuild their lives in a new political landscape. After the war, many Loyalists faced further hardships as their former compatriots solidified control over the new nation.
The colonists who chose independence over loyalty to the Throne were known as "Patriots." They were advocates for the American Revolution and sought to break free from British rule, believing in the principles of liberty and self-governance. In contrast, those who remained loyal to the British Crown were referred to as "Loyalists."
