At the start of the war Patriots worked hard to try and ensure Indian neutrality, for Indians could provide strategic military assistance that might decide the struggle. Gradually, however, it became clear to most native groups, that an independent America posed a far greater threat to their interests and way of life than a continued British presence that restrained American westward expansion.

I don't know if you have multiple answer choices...but this is a true fact.

Most Native Americans sided with the British, because Britain promised to protect their land from new American settlers.
