The man who significantly inspired the colonists to fight the British was Thomas Paine. His pamphlet "Common Sense," published in 1776, argued for independence from British rule and appealed to the colonists' desire for self-governance. Paine's passionate rhetoric and clear reasoning galvanized public opinion and encouraged many to support the revolutionary cause. His writings played a crucial role in uniting the colonists against British tyranny.
As British forces began losing battles in the South, many neutral colonists were swayed to join the Patriot cause, seeing the potential for American independence as more viable. This shift in sentiment was fueled by a growing frustration with British military tactics and the hope for a better future under self-governance. Additionally, some neutral colonists felt pressure to align with either side, as local loyalties often dictated social and economic interactions. Overall, the changing dynamics on the battlefield encouraged more colonists to openly support the Patriots and their fight for independence.
The Americans were not united in their opposition to British rule. Some estimated that only about two-thirds of the colonists favored independence and one-third wanted to remain part of the British Empire. These colonists were referred to as Tories or Loyalists and were treated as traitors to the American cause. Many Tories fought as militia or even within the British army against the colonists. After the war, most Tories left on ships with the British soldiers to Canada or England.
