... Though not all colonists supported violent rebellion, historians estimate that approximately 45 percent of the white population supported the Patriots' cause or identified as Patriots; 15–20 percent favored the British Crown; and the remainder of the population chose not to take a vocal position in the conflict.
coming up quickly to the point of finding out if the latter still exists..

EVIL people support each other - that is their chief strength. Aleksander Solzhenitsyn
We need to negotiate a peaceful division of the country.
There’s no reason to fight - the two sides are incompatible - both hate each other.
We need a divorce NOT a battle to the death or both sides bankrupting each other in court.
Negotiate the split. Make it peaceful.
That sentence alone is the big red flashing light that this is article is BS...
Pure historical revisionism...
Before the communists gained control of the Nation's education system we were taught that, when those minutemen gathered on the green at Lexington, they were supported by, at best, 1-to-3 percent of the colonists...
Also, the use of the pejorative "white" is another tactic of the communist's reigning strategy of historical revisionism...
Al Gore said it best: "Everything that is up should be down and everything that is down should be up..."
Drip...Drip...Drip... Here we are, finally, drowning...
It appears that the communists have won primarily because we didn't want to bad enough.
From what I’ve read only about 25% supported the cause.
And of that 25%, even fewer were actively supporting it with actual participation, either as fighters, funders, or voluntary providers of supplies.
But the poorest colonist weren’t the most likely to be obese. And they weren’t the most passively entertained people ever. Or the least used to sustained physical effort, and they weren’t the least used to doing it outdoors in all weather. I suspect that we are living in a radically unique period as compared to the rest of all of human history, unlike the American colonial era.

If you believe that the Communist, a/k/a, those in control are going are going to to let us, a/k/a their slaves and labor go without a fight, you are only fooling yourself. It is the fruits of our labor that they steal through taxation that support them in the manner that they are used to. With us gone, they will have to work to support themselves. That is not going to happen.
Yes I believe the would let the red states leave the union. They are craven and would not die to keep the union. These not your GGGF Yankees. War would be more fun but not necessary.
