Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Loyalist support was particularly strong in the backcountry of the Carolinas. This was due to a large number of settlers of Scots-Irish, German, and Dutch descent who were loyal to the British Crown, as well as a significant number of former indentured servants who had been brought over by loyalist planters. These groups were often isolated from the more populous coastal regions and were resistant to the ideas of the radical Patriots.
