Loyalists

''This is about the Loyalists. Another name is Tories, which links here.'' The Loyalists were the ones who remained loyal to Britain. In order to follow what their mother country wanted, they helped fight Britain in the war and killed rebels, named Patriots, so they could protect their British brothers and sisters. Most Loyalists in the north escaped and hid in Canada to avoid Patriot rule. Most lived in the south, like Georgia, where the British controlled and won many battles.
