Many Loyalists wanted to remain 'loyal' to King George. Many were harassed by neighboring patriots after the war because they knew the loyalists' preference for the King. The loyalists were bullied and so, they decided to leave by ship for Canada. Though many stayed in Canada, eventually some did return to the US soil.
I think they came from the United States.

Loyalists during the American Revolutionary War often included minorities because they sought stability and protection under British rule, which they believed offered more security than the uncertain future of an independent America. Many enslaved individuals, for example, viewed loyalty to the British as a potential avenue for freedom, as the British promised emancipation to those who fought for them. Additionally, Indigenous peoples sometimes allied with the British, hoping to safeguard their lands from encroaching settlers. These dynamics reflect the complex motivations behind loyalty to the Crown among diverse groups.
The Daughters of the American Revolution was formed in 1890 and did not come from any other group.
Loyalists, who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution, often came from minority groups due to a variety of factors. Many Indigenous peoples, for example, allied with the British in hopes of protecting their lands from colonial expansion. Additionally, enslaved Africans and free Black individuals saw potential advantages in aligning with the British, who promised freedom in exchange for military service. Furthermore, religious and ethnic minorities, such as Loyalist Catholics and German settlers, often felt marginalized within the predominantly Protestant revolutionary movement, leading them to support the British regime.
Loyalists were American colonists who supported the English as opposed to Patriots who supported independence from England.
Yes, some loyalists were attacked following the Revolutionary War because patriots believed they were traitorous for not having helped to drive out the British. Some fled to Britain, Canada, and the Caribbean, while others stuck it out.
The loyalists were British subjects living in the future U.S. and did not agree with the creation of the new country. So they left, most of them settling in Canada which was still apart of the British Empire.
They started before 1776 and most after but 1776 is a good approximate at it references the war they lost.
They came because they were cool as the Lashley family in a place downtown where the freaks all come around it's a hole in the wall it's a dirty free for all ;)

From the ideals of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) as well as from the French Revolution (1789-1799).
During the American Revolutionary War, loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown, while patriots were those who supported the independence of the colonies from British rule. Loyalists believed in maintaining ties with Britain and were often wealthy landowners, government officials, or members of the Anglican Church. Patriots, on the other hand, sought self-governance and believed in the principles of liberty and democracy. The divide between loyalists and patriots led to deep social and political tensions within the colonies during the war.
