The British had many people involved in the American Revolution. Their military leaders included Charles Cornwallis, William Howe, John Burgoyne, and Thomas Gage. Also to be noted is King George III.
They were Loyalists.
When the colonies were founded and people migrated from England, those people were still considered Englishmen, or subjects of the British crown. At the same time, they were fererred to as colonials. When the revolution started in the 1770s, some supported the revolution and were called rebels by those loyal to the crown. Those who were from the colonies and loyal to the crown were loyalists.
The Canadians and most of the other British colonies sided with the British. The Indian tribes near Canada favored the British. A fair number of people in the American colonies were against the revolution-- they were known as Tories. Some of them fled to Canada.

Not Everybody But Free Africans Fought For Patriots And Some Runaways Fought For The British.
Among combattants--soldiers who actually took part in the fighting--there were: - British regular army (commonly referred to as "Redcoats"); - Loyalist militias composed of people living in the American colonies but wishing to remain British subjects; - Hessian (German) mercenaries hired to fight on behalf of the British. Among civilians, there were some who supported the King and some who supported the revolution.
I think it came from the American Revolution. The "Patriots" were people from England who were in what is now the U.S.(some were in New England), and beleived that they no longer were citizens of England. They fought against the British in the Revolutionay War and won.
