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.
During the American Revolutionary War, those who remained loyal to the British Crown were known as Loyalists. In contrast to the Patriot groups and to those Americans who refused to take sides in the conflict, the Loyalists supported the British in various ways, sometimes actively fighting against the Patriots, at other times merely supplying or otherwise assisting the active fighters, at all times hoping for the Colonies to remain under British control.
