What was the main reason loyalists opposed independence from britain?

The main reason why colonialist rebelled against the British was because of heavy taxes, unreasonable laws, and rash actions of British Government and troops. Loyalists on the other hand were the colonialist who remained loyal to the British. The reason why the loyalist opposed independence from Britain is because they thought war with such a powerful nation would be pointless and they would never win. Others thought that we should pay taxes to the British because they should be loyal to Britain. This doesn't mean that they were not upset with the taxes.

If i remember correctly it was caused by people hurling bodies at a country for some reason and them they all became infected
