The Native Americans of the West were more likely to favor the British than the Americans because the Americans did not live up to their promises. The British were also offering them more in the way of freedom and payment for the use of their land.

∙ 6y agoBecause the Native Americans did not like the patriots that much.
Natives sided with the British because the British would keep Americans from expansion. The British wanted the Americans along the coast in order to keep an eye on them and have better control. Without British control over them, people would be free to move westward, which would result in Natives losing their land. Continued British rule which means Natives won't be disturbed as much and are able to keep their way of life.
Good luck on ur hw
