I think it was because there were more people who were un-loyal than there were loyal, and the loyalists were being hurt and thrown in jail for no reason. When the loyalists fled,Britain divided Newfoundland or something so they could be separate from the rebels

The Loyalists didn't really leave Britain during the Revolution. They actually came to America on ships and set up the colonies, along with the Patriots a hundred or so years before the Revolution actually started. Then, during the Revolution, they concentrated their efforts on spying for Britain.
