2. Patrick Henry was known as a fiery speaker and a radical leader.

Colonists would want to be loyal to the king because they would be too afraid to oppose him. At the spur of the moment, they may want to cause a war, but once they realoize that only have a small chance of winning and really see the reality in their actions, they would be frightened about going against the king and his powerful army, especially if it was very organized and strong. England was the largest empire back then too, so opposing them would probably mean that they, a small colony, was going against a very powerful empire. It is also a risk because if they lose, they would be punished, or killed. The loyalists would want to be with the winners too and get protection at the same time.
