Who was the group of colonist who supported Britain during the revolution?

There were many more than just one colonist. The colonists who supported Great Britain and fought to remain a part of the British Empire were referred to as Loyalists, or Tories. There were many Tory regiments from every colony that fought alongside the British during the Revolutionary War, including many from New York, New Jersey, South Carolina and North Carolina as the theatres of the war were centered in those locations.


Why were the loyalists displaced?

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.
