In the Revolutionary War era, "Tory" referred to American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown and opposed the Revolution. They were often associated with loyalty to British authority and were sometimes viewed as traitors by their fellow colonists who supported independence. The term became synonymous with Loyalists, and many Tories faced social and economic repercussions during and after the war, including persecution and displacement.
