Why was charles inglis a loyalist?

Answer 1

He was a loyalist for many reasons. First of all, he lived for over twenty years in England, so he had less understanding of what the colonies were like before the French and Indian war as opposed to after it. Secondly, he was a member of the clergy of an Anglican church, the church of England. He would not have wanted to work for Britain, yet support independence from the country. He believed the country would fall to pieces if independence was declared and thought the colonies could only survive and thrive under British rule.
