There were several groups of loyalists. First, there were those who had been followers of Bonnie Prince Charlie and their children. When they surrendered, they had been given a choice of hang or go to America and be willing to fight for the king. They kept their promise. A number of people living close to the coast in the Mid Atlantic states and South had not suffered from the intolerable acts. They did not understand the problem. A number of merchants benefited from their ties to England. Different people sided with the king for different reasons.
