In the Revolutionary War and the days leading up to it, the peoples living in the united colonies were divided in two kinds of people; the ones who were angry at Britain and those who were happy with the affairs of their mother country. The individuals whom were content with the actions of Britain were considered to be Loyalists as opposed to the ones who wished to rebel against the empire of Britain and break free to become their own sovereign nation. The loyalists may not have necessarily agreed with the policies set down by the Crown of Britain but found no reason enough to justify entering into a war with such a powerful nation. Rather than fight the mother country they remained loyal to Britain and were thus coined "Loyalists". If you did not rebel or revolt than you were obviously loyal to the crown.
So basically loyalists were the people who stayed loyal to the empire of Britain and Patriots were the opposite. Patriots were the people who rebel against their mother country.
