Loyalists were displaced primarily due to their allegiance to the British crown during the American Revolutionary War, which put them at odds with the revolutionary patriots. Following the war, many faced persecution, violence, and social ostracism, leading them to flee to areas such as Canada or Britain. Additionally, the changing political landscape and confiscation of property further motivated their displacement, as they sought safety and stability in regions aligned with their loyalty to Britain.
The loyalists had a significant impact on First Nations communities. Many First Nations tribes were displaced from their traditional lands to make way for loyalist settlements. This led to a loss of territory, resources, and cultural disruption for First Nations people. The loyalists' presence also intensified conflicts between First Nations and European settlers, exacerbating tensions and leading to further displacement and violence.
The patriots felt like the loyalists were wrong and traitors, but they generally didn't fight.
In the American Revolution, loyalists were sometimes called "Tories," after the British political party that favored tradition and conservatism.

Loyalists, who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, settled in Quebec primarily due to the upheaval and persecution they faced in the newly formed United States. After the war, many were displaced, and Quebec offered a refuge with its British colonial governance and land grants. Additionally, the region's French-speaking population and established British presence provided a familiar environment for these Loyalists seeking to maintain their loyalty to Britain.
Those who remained loyal to Britain were known as loyalists, or United Empire Loyalists.
