In Boston the Loyalists were driven out or left on their own initiative. Their property was confiscated and they were deprived of their jobs and positions. A lot of property changed hands during that time. The City of New York was a little different. Both sides lived together some times and then others they alternated in their power, economically and politically. I assume the situation in much of the colonies was similar. With the fortunes of war, when it appeared to be one side or the other was in the ascendancy, then that side attracted support of various kinds. Of course the poorer people had to be apparently attached to the party that could offer the most jobs, and the most food. The civility of the judicial system was often left behind in the rush.
