What is meant by "loyalist" here? At this time a loyalist was any colonialist who was against breaking away from Great Britain, desiring to stay loyal to their nation. By signing the Declaration of Independence, one was publicly stating one's desire and right to establish a nation separate from Great Britain. There were those who may have started off as a loyalist and later became a rebel (or Patriot as they are now known), but by signing that document you were publicly stating that you were not loyal to the crown (your allegiance and obedience were no longer to it). Thus, no actual signers could be considered a loyalist at the time they signed it.
