Loyalists were persecuted during and after the American Revolutionary War primarily because they remained loyal to the British Crown, which put them at odds with the revolutionary sentiments of the Patriots. This loyalty was seen as a betrayal by many colonists who fought for independence, leading to social ostracism, property confiscation, and violence against them. In some cases, Loyalists were forced to flee to Britain or other territories to escape persecution. Their plight reflected the deep divisions and tensions within American society during the revolutionary period.
