This article tells that loyalists are the American Revoltion's guility secret: rarely spoken of, hauntingly present. At least one in five Americans is believed to have remained loyal to Britain during the war. This article had useful information about how loyalists were like during the war and how they ended up after the war.

The colonist still respect the British Empire as their Creator, but they are unhappy that British took away the true laws from them. Also it talked about that British said that they are trying to protect the colonist, but the truth was trying to take control the land.The colonists are asking for freedom.
