And why didn't the GB/UK do what they did in many a colonies elsewhere, to use any division in sentiments to play groups against each other and keep the colonies from uniting?

Halifax was also very loyal.
I'd say New York and then Georgia and South Carolina were the most pro-British. In the latter two, the majority of immigrants were much more true English than the other colonies, combined with the plantations, the rigid heirarchy in this regions, and the less religiously based societies led them to have stronger ties to their home regions then most of the middle colonies or New England. The reason North Carolina was much less loyalist was due to the agricultural community being small independent farmer based as opposed to huge cash crop plantation based.
