Loyalists believed that most colonists would remain loyal to Great Britain due to economic dependence, a strong connection to British governance, and fear of instability. However, many Patriots felt that British policies were oppressive and violated their rights, igniting a desire for independence. The widespread discontent with British rule, fueled by events like the Boston Tea Party and the Intolerable Acts, ultimately galvanized support for the revolutionary cause. This divergence in perspectives showcased a deep ideological rift that the Loyalists underestimated.
