The Americans were not united in their opposition to British rule. Some estimated that only about two-thirds of the colonists favored independence and one-third wanted to remain part of the British Empire. These colonists were referred to as Tories or Loyalists and were treated as traitors to the American cause. Many Tories fought as militia or even within the British army against the colonists. After the war, most Tories left on ships with the British soldiers to Canada or England.
