Answer 1

Many Native American groups chose to support the British during the Revolutionary War primarily due to their **hope to retain their lands**. They perceived the British as a lesser threat compared to the expanding American colonies, which were encroaching on their territories. The British, at least in part, promised to protect Native lands from colonial settlers in exchange for their support.
