Many simply saw rebellion as a violation of the law (if I rebel I am a traitor). A number saw the revolution as a way to lose everything they had, there were lawyers, judges, minor officials....a successful revollution might mean the loss of their livelihood. One old generalization of the Revolution goes like this: a third were for the rebels, a third for the king and a third just stayed home.
They would not gain freedom
They would make laws and some wold repeal them and they were also loyalist
Technically, Canada didn't exist during the Revolutionary War. So the people who would have been in the area now known as Canada would have been part of the Great Britain.
Listing the rights of the colonist.
The South, mainly South Carolina, was opposed to protective tariffs because they would sell most of their cotton to England.

A loyalist would say "sure, it's a great place altogether"
He was a loyalist for many reasons. First of all, he lived for over twenty years in England, so he had less understanding of what the colonies were like before the French and Indian war as opposed to after it. Secondly, he was a member of the clergy of an Anglican church, the church of England. He would not have wanted to work for Britain, yet support independence from the country. He believed the country would fall to pieces if independence was declared and thought the colonies could only survive and thrive under British rule.
The reaction of a loyalist to the Declaration of Independence would have been that colonists do not have a right to simply declare their independence. Colonists are subjects of the crown, whether they agree or not. King George III rules by divine right. God save the king.
A person who wanted the colonies to remain part of Britain's empire
Persons opposed to anything about Great Britain.
No, Joseph Galloway did not support the idea of total independence from Great Britain. He advocated for a peaceful resolution to the tensions between the American colonies and Britain, and proposed a plan for a colonial union that would maintain ties with Britain. However, his proposals were not widely accepted, and he eventually turned his support towards the British crown during the Revolutionary War.
If you supported Britain, you would've been a loyalist. If you supported The Continental Army, you would've been a Patriot.
patriot
During the American Revolution, a number of colonists wanted to remain loyal to Great Britain. Because of social pressure from many other Americans that wanted independence, many loyalists decided to move to British Canada.
if you are a neutralist at that time and the winning of independence never yet happened like before the colonists won, then it would be better to be neutralbecause you never know who can win because England is powerful.because if you were loyalist then it would still be unfair because of what theBritishking is doing.
loyalist?
