Loyalist's were people that were 'loyal' to the British Crown. They wanted the America's to stay under the control of the British empire. In rough number's the Loyalist's were 1/3 the total people of the Colonies. Some Loyalist's and separatist's were in the same families. Lucy Knox's family were Loyalist's while her and her new husband Henry Knox were separatist's. She actually took her husband's sword, sewing it into her clothes to, past the British military to get out of Boston and to her husband.

Quaker's were also considered Loyalist's; But Lydia Darragh, a Quaker, became a spy for the American Revolution when British officers forcefully took quarter's (housing) in her home.
