What is another name for a british loyalist?
Another name for an American Loyalist was: "Tory".The term "Red Coats" refers to troops of the British Army and the colour of the standard uniform they wore. Though many Loyalists fought for the British side during the American Revolution, they did so as volunteers to Loyalist militias. As battle-dress for Loyalist militias was inconsistent, just as it was for Patriot militias, a Loyalist militiaman could look like a Patriot militiaman, and either might have the appearance of any other colonist of the day.Moreover, Loyalist militias used the same kinds of guerrilla tactics as the Patriots, but against the Patriots. Thus, in Canadian historical accounts the American Revolution tends to be regarded as a civil war.In America, the term "Tory" came to be derogatory. In Canada, however, where most Loyalists sought refuge from Patriot reprisals after the Revolution was lost, the major conservative political party (The Conservative Party of Canada) is still also called: "The Tory Party", and its members: "Tories". Moreover, to claim descent from a Loyalist is something as esteemed in Canada as descent from the original Pilgrim fathers is esteemed in America.
