∙ 10y agoThe loyalists were afraid to turn against England because the English were currently in power of the colonies. They were afraid that if they rebelled the English would make unfair laws or punish them in a different way.

I would add that many Loyalists did not think the taxes were unfair, or they were more concerned that Independence would make their lives worse than the British laws (for example no support for conflicts with Natives or other European powers).
Think about something that our government is doing now that you don't like. Would you support a war to have your state it's own country? Would you feel safe with a tiny army, small economy, etc.?
