No one can say for certain. John Adams estimate, made after the war and largely accepted today as the best educated guess, is that one third of colonists favored independence (ie, were "Patriots"), one third were loyalists ("tories"), and one third did not care one way or another and only hoped to be left alone. In particular areas tories were more numerous, and in other areas there were more Patriots.
