Not Just the New Englander's Daniel, the planters of the Carolina's had no interest in the revolution either
Unlike the Virginia's who had the obligatory tradition of making an aliyah to England at least once, and the more trips one made the greater demonstration of wealth and status.
The planters of the Carolina's had no problem with England, as it was England that bought their cotton, and thus gave them a "price doesn't matter" attitude towards the monopoly of the East India Company, and the resulting Hat and Stamp Acts.
They had no interest in the revolution until the Brits landed in Charleston and the officers dispossessed them of their homes, to use as officer quarters.
The Mel Gibson movie the Patriot is a fairly accurate portrayal of the time.
The Virginia planters were of another mind, They envisioned themselves as the nobility in the new America.
