American Crown colonies were territories in North America that were directly governed by the British Crown, as opposed to being under the control of charter or proprietary governments. These colonies included Virginia, Massachusetts, and New York, among others. The Crown exercised direct authority over their administration and laws, often leading to tensions with colonists who sought greater self-governance. The Crown colonies played a significant role in the development of colonial governance and the eventual push for independence from British rule.
They opposed the Revolution. (Loyalists were loyal to Britain.)
REbels
When a colony was run by a governor who answered directly to the crown, it was called a royal colony. The governors in these colonies were appointed by the British throne.

When the revolution started in the 1770s, some supported the revolution and were called rebels by those loyal to the crown. Those who were from the colonies and loyal to the crown were loyalists.
At the time of the American Revolution, all of the colonies were 'Atlantic' colonies. The exception was the Canadian Colonies, which wanted nothing to do with the rebellion against Great Britain. Those loyal to the crown moved north to Canada.
