Cornwallis ignored the very influential “Loyalist” segment in North America and in India. In his quest for control of the energy in India, he destroyed the segment of the population that might have had some loyalty to and affection for the Old Empire. He destroyed the very population that might have had some affection for the “Mother Country”, thus allowing a Nativist segment to develop that had no real affection for the Old Guard. Cornwallis rejected “cooperation”, thus ensuring eventual rebellion. The dreams of upper class domination doomed the control of the energy of India.
