Answer: The Loyalists, also known as Tories, were American colonists that wanted to remain loyal to England. During the time leading up to and throughout the American Revolutionary War, the American colonies were split between those who wanted to break free from British rule and those who were loyal to the Crown. The Loyalists preferred to maintain their allegiance to the king and the established British colonial system, which they felt provided stability and protection of their rights.
