Read an excellent novel by Kenneth Roberts on this subject many moons ago.

Oliver Wiswell if I remember correctly. Excellent read. Some very brave Americans fought on the Loyalist side.

I believe the British, through most of the war, had considerably more Americans under arms than were in the Continental Army.

Tarleton, the bogeyman of the war in the South, led troops who were primarily Loyalists.

I love Kenneth Roberts' books. I devoured them all in my 20s and 30s. Wonderful sagas. I remember having my eyes opened when reading Oliver Wiswell.
