Explain why most native Americans supported the British during the american revolution

Many Native Americans (mostly Southeastern Indians / ex. Creeks, Chickasaws, and Choctaws) supported the British in the American Revolution, while some supported the American and Spainsh (the Catawbas) because The British Empire promised to protect their land from the White American settlers if they won and fought with them, much like how Britian also promised slaves freedom if they fought for them or became spies. This was because if they won they would controll the land and the Ameircan colonies and what happens to it.
