The loyalists were the people who wanted to remain loyal to the British King and to Britain itself. Although many school books do not mention it (it's much nicer to paint the colonist rebels as the 'true' representatives of colonist feelings) the truth is that the rebels were initially only a minority of the colonists and most of them had no desire to make a break with Britain.
