WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Loyalists were strongest in the Carolinas and Georgia and weakest in New England. Some remained loyalists because they were members of the Anglican Church, headed by the British king. Some depended on the British for jobs. Others could not understand what all the commotion was about.

Detailed explanation-2: -Loyalists were most numerous in the South, New York, and Pennsylvania, but they did not constitute a majority in any colony. New York was their stronghold and had more than any other colony. New England had fewer loyalists than any other section.

Detailed explanation-3: -Loyalists were also called Tories. Patriots were outnumbered by the Loyalists in the Georgia colony. However, as other colonies experienced Britain’s wrath after multiple Tea Parties and the Intolerable Acts, Georgia radicals were moved to action, many joining the Liberty Boys.

Detailed explanation-4: -The colony of Georgia was strongly Loyalist. Loyalists were American colonists who sought to remain loyal to the British Crown and did not support independence. James Wright was the Royal Governor of Georgia.

Detailed explanation-5: -One strength was the patriotism of their people. Many colonists willingly gave their lives to defend their liberty, homes, children, families, and friends. Without this strong support, the American war effort would have crumbled in just a few months.
