• increased patriot opposition to loyalists
• decreased patriot opposition to loyalists

Answer 1

The most likely effect of the Confiscation Acts during the American Revolution was increased loyalist opposition to patriots.

The Confiscation Acts allowed the Continental Congress and state governments to seize property belonging to loyalists. This increased the animosity between loyalists and patriots, as loyalists felt targeted and persecuted, leading to heightened opposition to the patriot cause.
