The loyalists settled anywhere in the colonists. The loyalists really had no specific spot in the colonies to settle. They just settled anywhere.
No. There were 4 different places as far as I know. Sorry if I'm wrong. I do know they settled in Nova Scotia and New brunswick. Not sure the others. Hope I helped!

∙ 12y agoDuring the American Revolution the loyalists stayed where they were. Most of them tried to help the British army, and a lot of them failed at this. The patriots in the colonies got permission to take the land from loyalists. Most loyalists had already lost their wealth and land trying to help the British.

∙ 12y agoAfter The Revolution ended, many Loyalists suffered persecution by the Patriots they had opposed (The verb, "to lynch", actually derives from the period and the notorious actions of one [patriot] Judge 'Lynch').
Some estimate that as many as 100,000 (about 5% of the entire American colonial population of about 2 million) felt their best option was to leave America. Some went to "The (West) Indies", others to England.
The majority, however, escaped to two of the remaining 3 continental colonies of British North America, then called "Canada" and "Nova Scotia". 'Canada' would subsequently be divided into an 'upper' (largely English-speaking, English civil law, predominately "protestant") and 'lower' (largely French-speaking, french civil law, predominately "catholic") colony, which became the modern Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec. Likewise, 'Nova Scotia' became modern Canada's 'New Brunswick' and 'Nova Scotia'.
The Loyalists who left America in 1783-93 (and some somewhat later still), are regarded by most to be the 'founding-fathers' of (English-speaking) Canada, and institutionally, of Canada itself.
