I have a lot of local records here in Georgia where I live to back up what I am saying. In the South, during the American Revolution, the war was probably closer to a civil war than it was a revolution. There were many, many loyalist and the local Indians here were among them. Even during the war of 1812, the Creeks still trusted the Crown and looked down on the "Americans" at that time as being a bunch of low life, dishonorable people.

An interesting note with my mother. She was raise in the 1930's South as a high class white woman. When she and my father were stationed in California during WWII. There was one hotel who would not let them in due to her dark skin color and native American facial features. Her brother, who was in the Navy was basically adopted by a West Coast tribe who use to take him fishing all the time when he was out there.

A similar problem was the case for a very long time in the South Carolina Tidewater. Folks there continued to feel a British affinity down to as recently 2004. I understand they've recently begun to give up on it.
