Best Answer

Not every British person in the colony was a loyalist. Many were, but some thought that the British government had no right to tax the colonies when the colonies didn't even have a representative in parliament,and therefore rebelled against England. They became known as patriots, and the ones who stayed loyal to the crown were called loyalists.
