Did all Americans support the revolution?

Although we think of the Revolutionary War as something
that all Americans were behind, it really was not that way.  Only a minority of
Americans were actually strong supporters of the American side in the
Revolution.

This is not to say that most Americans opposed
the Revolution and wanted to stay with Britain.  In fact, only about one-third of all
Americans are believed to have been "Tories" or "Loyalists."  These are names for
Americans who stayed on the British side.

Instead,
historians believe that about one-third of Americans were strongly in favor of
revolution, one-third were Tories, and another third were relatively neutral, just
wanting to get by as well as they could.
