The American colonists who favored declaring independence from Great Britain were not a majority of the population at the time. John Adams, perhaps making an educated quess at the time, estimated that about one third of the white population of the American colonies were Torys, or Loyalists who remained loyal to the King. One third were neutral, and one third were Patriots. Most Anglicans living in the northern colonies supported Great Britain. Many merchants supported the British for economic reasons. Even some slaves supported the British because they were told they would receive their independence in return for military service. The British got much support from many living in the Southern colonies. MrV
