The American Revolution significantly impacted Loyalists, many of whom faced persecution and social ostracism for their allegiance to the British Crown. Some were forced to flee their homes, leading to mass migrations to Canada and other British territories.

The revolution ultimately diminished their influence and status in the newly formed United States.
