Question

Which statement best describes the role of loyalists during the war?

Answer 1

Answer:

Right choice:

(1) Loyalists furnished food and shelter for the king's armies.

Explanation:

Not all the colonists supported the idea of separating from England, or they did not believe independence was possible. Providing food and shelter to the king´s troops was an important form of support, one not to be belittled, given the formidable logistic challenges the British Army faced in the 1770s-1780s.
