Loyalists
An American colonist who remained loyal to King George III was known as a Loyalist or a Tory (plural "Tories"). "Tory" is also a name applied to Conservative political parties in the UK and Canada.
Before and during the American Revolution, those American colonists who were determined to fight the British until independence was won were known as Patriots. By contrast, the Loyalists were those colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown, while quite a number of other colonists did not take sides in the conflict.
Some colonists had extreme national pride and believed that they were still British by nationality even though they were not born in Great Britain. These British loyalists believed in the British rule and were deeply Loyal to the King of England.
One of the most famous was Benjamin Franklins son, William Franklin, who was the last Loyalist Governor of New Jersey. The term Tory was used to describe those who remained loyal to the British Crown. Since early in the eighteenth century, Tory had described those upholding the right of the Kings over parliament. During the revolution, particularly after the Declaration of Independence in 1776 this use was extended to cover anyone who remained loyal to the British Crown.
