Detailed explanation-1: -The Battle of Savannah is considered the start of the push by the British into the South. Savannah was considered a city with economic importance to the region, which was a conflict between the British, American, and French forces (Lumpkin, 2000).
Detailed explanation-2: -Loyalists wanted to pursue peaceful forms of protest because they believed that violence would give rise to mob rule or tyranny. They also believed that independence would mean the loss of economic benefits derived from membership in the British mercantile system. Loyalists came from all walks of life.
