After the patriots won the Revolutionary War, many loyalists faced significant persecution and social ostracism in the newly formed United States. Some loyalists fled to Britain or other parts of the British Empire, while others remained and tried to reintegrate into society, often losing property and status. Many loyalists were forced to abandon their homes and businesses, leading to a significant demographic shift in some regions. Overall, their post-war experiences varied widely, but many faced hardship and discrimination due to their allegiance to the British crown.

Why are loyalists called loyalists?
In the Revolutionary War and the days leading up to it, the peoples living in the united colonies were divided in two kinds of people; the ones who were angry at Britain and those who were happy with the affairs of their mother country. The individuals whom were content with the actions of Britain were considered to be Loyalists as opposed to the ones who wished to rebel against the empire of Britain and break free to become their own sovereign nation. The loyalists may not have necessarily agreed with the policies set down by the Crown of Britain but found no reason enough to justify entering into a war with such a powerful nation. Rather than fight the mother country they remained loyal to Britain and were thus coined "Loyalists". If you did not rebel or revolt than you were obviously loyal to the crown. So basically loyalists were the people who stayed loyal to the empire of Britain and Patriots were the opposite. Patriots were the people who rebel against their mother country.
How did the Loyalists feel about the way they were treated by the Patriots?
They are not treated well at all. Some got their houses vandalized or burned. Others were beaten or got tar and feathered. ( That's when people striped others, poured hot tar on them and covered them in chicken feathers. Most people did not survive these.) After the war the Loyalists were kicked out of the country and went off to British Canada.
Who were the loyalists and who were the rebels?
From an American point of view the Patriots were the English colonists wanting to break away from England while The Loyalists were the English colonists who opposed the revolution against King George III and his government. The Patriots formed Militia units and the Continental Army. The Militia units were attached to the Continental Army but generally served shorter terms, were poorly trained, and poorly equipped. The regulars of the Continental Army were better trained, more disciplined, served longer than the the Militia, and bore the brunt of the heavy duty fighting. Both groups, together, fought the British Army. Initially the Patriot forces were provisioned with the aid of the French King. Eventually, France provided a Naval Fleet, and ground troops. The British Army was from the Great Britain, plus Hessians, a hired group of professional soldiers from the German state of Hesse. The Loyalists provided some units to the British Army. The bulk of the British Army were troops from England. The British Army generals were from Great Britain. The combined forces of the Patriots and the French surrounded the British Army in Yorktown Virginia and forced them to surrender. The last English Army was under siege in New York and surrendered. With the successful conclusion of the American Revolution many Loyalists fled to Canada, and some returned to England.

Who did the loyalists support during the America?
Contrary to popular opinion in America 'Benedict Arnold' was not regarded a 'loyalist' by the United Empire Loyalists ("UEL"). In fact, he was "expunged" officially from the Loyalist Directory (of Canada) in 1799.Remember: to the loyalists, the patriots were the 'traitors'. So, notwithstanding Arnold's subsequent 'change of heart', he remained anathema to those who had sided with The Crown from the beginning of the revolution and who suffered greatly as a result.Generals Howe, Cornwallis, were British generals, not loyalists. Also remember: loyalists were either "American"-born residents of the colonies, or, if British-born, emigre-settlers in America; they were not 'people sent over' by King George and his parliament to put down a colonial rebellion.
