Loyalists were against the Declaration of Independence. They believed that America should be loyal to Britain. Many Loyalists simply left America. About 80,000 of them fled to Canada or Britain during or just after the war. Because Loyalists were often wealthy, educated, older, and Anglican, the American social fabric was altered by their departure.

That depends on if the colonist was a self-proclaimed loyalist or patriot. The Declaration of Independence was generally well received by patriots as they wished to separate from England. Loyalists who stood by the king either disapproved or hated it. If the colonist was not sided, it is unclear how they might react.
In many places it was dangerous to be a Loyalists- at least publicly. Loyal Patriots sometimes harassed Loyalists, attacking their farms and property and even driving them out of their town. Families were sometimes bitterly divided.
For Americans, sure they are happy, but not so well in England.
