They were colonists who wanted the King to remain in control of the colonies. The name "Tory" is synonymous with traditionalists and monarchists.

They were also called "loyalists" for their loyalty to the British crown. Many faced attacks and some had to stay in areas controlled by the British. Because of the war, a significant number left the new United States for Britain or Canada.
