Colonists who wished to remain a British colony were often referred to as Loyalists or Tories. They believed that remaining part of the British Empire would provide economic stability, security, and protection from foreign threats. Loyalists were particularly prevalent in urban areas and among those who benefited from British trade and governance. Their loyalty ultimately put them at odds with the growing revolutionary sentiment that sought independence from British rule.
