What actions by the British and the southern Loyalists caused many colonists to side with the Patriots?
The British imposition of taxes without representation, such as the Stamp Act and Townshend Acts, fueled resentment among colonists, making them more sympathetic to the Patriot cause. Additionally, harsh measures taken by the British military, including the Intolerable Acts and violent confrontations like the Boston Massacre, galvanized public opinion against British rule. Southern Loyalists' efforts to maintain control over enslaved people by promising them freedom in exchange for loyalty to the Crown also backfired, as it alienated many colonists who viewed this as a threat to their social order. These actions collectively pushed many colonists to align themselves with the Patriots in their quest for independence.
