In the England of today, a tory is a member of the Conservative party. The original Tory party is defunct. The Tories arose during the industrial revolution. The Tories represented the farmers and the Whigs stood for the workers in the industries. The Tories also sided with the king is some dispute. In America before and during the Revolutionary War, the Tories were the people who sided with England. They no longer exist. The Whigs opposed England. They no longer exist either.
