Despite our thinking that the entire population of the colonies was up in arms against the British this is not true. Just like today on various issues people were for, against, and neutral concerning a revolution. There was a small body of men who wanted to have revolution and they had been working on creating stories and problems about the British for years . The Boston massacre is a perfect example of this. The handbills passed out showed the British soldiers shooting unarmed colonial men. This was pure Propaganda and made to influence thinking about the British and inciting a case for revolution. Many people stayed out of the war or were pulled into it because of an event that affected their lives and they had no choice. The British did some very awful things to colonists they found or to towns they came into. One report that I read told of a British patrol rounding up a group of colonists and locking them in a barn then setting the barn on fire. Imagine if you were a son or daughter of a person in the barn. That could move you to fight for the revolution.
