The most likely an effect of the confiscation Acts during the American revolution was it increased loyalist opposition to patriots. These loyalists were then confronted with the Patriots.

 

EXPLANATION  

People who supported King George III of Great Britain were called Loyalists during the American Revolution. These loyalists were then confronted with the Patriots. Patriots were those who supported the Revolution. Historians estimate that during the American Revolution, about 500,000 people or between 15 and 20 percent of the colony's white population were loyalists.

One popular reason why Loyalists continued to side with Britain was because of a belief in evolutionary independence and peaceful. Employing did Daniel Bliss from Massachusetts who later got the position of Chief Justice of New Brunswick. He said: "It is better to live under a tyrant thousands of miles away than a thousand tyrants a mile away."

When the war ended, with the defeat of Great Britain by America and France, the loyal Loyalists were no longer accepted in the United States. They were trying to migrate to territories in the United Kingdom. Many of their properties have been confiscated by the Patriots. Loyalists who left America were offered land in British North American territory.

While thirty thousand Americans who were bound by promises of the land after taking an oath of allegiance to the King, had to move to Ontario in the 1790s. But other Loyalists around 80% -90% still choose to live in the United States and get citizenship status.
