The correct answer is "came from all classes of society."

During the war, Tories came from all classes of society.

During the Revolutionary War, a Tory was a colonist that was still loyal to the King. These loyalists came from all classes of society and considered that the colonies had no chance to exists without the presence of the British government

In opposition to Loyalists who supported the presence of the British monarchy and the English government in the colonies, Patriots were American colonists that wanted independence from the British king.

Patriots were tired of the many injustices and heavy taxation imposed by the English government, as was the case of teh Navigation Acts, the Stamp Act, the Tea Act, and many others.

Patriots were also furious that they had to pay taxes but had no voice or representation in the British Parliament. Indeed, all these were major causes for the beginning of the Revolutionary War of Independence.
