Colonists loyal to King George III and Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War were known as Loyalists or Tories. They opposed the revolution and supported British rule, often facing social and economic repercussions from their Patriot neighbors. Many Loyalists fled to Canada or other British territories after the war.
