Many Americans remained loyal to the British crown during the Revolution due to a strong sense of loyalty to the monarchy, a belief in the benefits of British governance, and fear of the chaos that independence could bring. Loyalists often included wealthy landowners, government officials, and those with economic ties to Britain who feared losing their status and stability. Additionally, some were concerned about the radicalism of the revolutionary movement and preferred the relative order and protection provided by British rule.
the loyalists
Americans who were still loyal to the British Crown or opposed universal democracy, called the Loyalists, immigrated to Canada where Britain was still in control. They generally immigrated from New York to Ontario (Upper Canada) or from New England to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
The primary figure who convinced many Native Americans to abandon their British allies during the American Revolutionary War was Sir William Johnson, a British Indian agent. He had established strong relationships with various tribes and used diplomacy to persuade them to remain neutral or side with the Americans. Additionally, the changing dynamics of the war and the promise of land and autonomy from American leaders further influenced Native American decisions to shift allegiances.
