Answer 1

Many Native American groups chose to support the British during the Revolutionary War primarily due to the **hope to retain their lands**. They believed that the British would better support their interests against the encroachment of colonial settlers and facilitate the protection of their territories. Additionally, the British had previously established treaties and alliances that promised to recognize Native American land rights, which further motivated their alignment during the conflict.
