Was it just Lady Stoneheart’s influence that turned the BwB from a popular anti-nobility Rebellion to an anti-Lannister/anti-Frey movement? Or was it the Red Wedding itself, where the Lannisters and Freys demonstrated contempt not only for the well being of the smallfolk, as the other participants in the Wot5K did, but contempt for the laws of gods and men as well? Would they have turned on the Freys/Lannisters even without Stoneheart?

It’s a bit complicated, because the BwB were always anti-Lannister (but anti-everyone else too), and because the Red Wedding knocked out the everyone else, so the Lannisters and Freys were left as the occupiers of the Riverlands. 

So even if Beric hadn’t resurrected LSH, I think the change would be more about methods and focus rather than the target.
