The United Empire Loyalists were the American residents who were against the war against England. Most of them felt that England was only exercising her right to tax the colonists, who were causing England much expense. The United Empire Loyalists mostly emigrated to Canada, settling in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provences.
Those who remained loyal to Britain were known as loyalists, or United Empire Loyalists.
