Loyalists
Tories
I have never read they did. You have to remember that ALL were British subjects and the revolution was treason against the king. The colonies were British and so were the colonists.
During the American Revolution, the British faced opposition from the American colonists, who were fighting for independence. Additionally, the British encountered support from loyalists, who remained loyal to the Crown. Native American tribes and some European allies, such as the Hessians, also fought alongside the British. Conversely, the colonists received assistance from France, Spain, and the Netherlands in their struggle for independence.
The term that best describes the colonists who supported American independence is "Patriots." These individuals advocated for the colonies' separation from British rule and played a crucial role in the American Revolution, pushing for liberty and self-governance. They opposed Loyalists, who remained loyal to the British crown.
King George III was the British ruler during the American Revolution. He imposed taxes on the colonists. This made the colonists dissatisfied, which led to the American Revolution.

Unless I misunderstood the question-- there were more than 13 who remained faithful to Britain -- they were called Loyalists.
