Loyalists were also known as Tories, a term used during the American Revolutionary War to describe those who remained loyal to the British Crown. They opposed the revolution and supported British rule, often facing persecution and hostility from Patriot colonists. Many Loyalists eventually fled to Canada or other parts of the British Empire after the war.
