Revolutionary War
Loyalists, or those who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution, often faced hostility and persecution from their Patriot neighbors. Many were subjected to violence, including tarring and feathering, and some had their property confiscated. For example, in New York, Loyalists faced mob actions, and in South Carolina, Loyalist leaders were targeted for arrest and violence. Additionally, thousands fled to Canada or Britain to escape the hostility, leading to significant refugee communities.
The U.S. may return seized property to loyalists as a means of reconciliation and healing post-Revolutionary War, acknowledging the complexities of loyalty and property rights during that tumultuous period. Restoring property can promote goodwill and stability, helping to integrate loyalists back into society and reinforce legal norms around property ownership. Additionally, it reflects a commitment to justice and fairness, recognizing the hardships faced by loyalists who remained loyal to the Crown.
They confiscated all of the Catholic Church property and sold it to help ease the French debt.

About 20% of the population.
In Boston the Loyalists were driven out or left on their own initiative. Their property was confiscated and they were deprived of their jobs and positions. A lot of property changed hands during that time. The City of New York was a little different. Both sides lived together some times and then others they alternated in their power, economically and politically. I assume the situation in much of the colonies was similar. With the fortunes of war, when it appeared to be one side or the other was in the ascendancy, then that side attracted support of various kinds. Of course the poorer people had to be apparently attached to the party that could offer the most jobs, and the most food. The civility of the judicial system was often left behind in the rush.
