Category: Loyalists, American Revolution

Categories: American Revolution

This category consists of profiles for American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War, including those who died fighting for the Loyalist cause, were imprisoned or executed for their support for Britain, fled to Britain or other British holdings, or stayed in the area that later became the United States. Individual Loyalist profiles should be placed in one of the more specific categories contained within this broader category.

Regarding the many Loyalists who went to Canada: The Category United Empire Loyalists contains profiles and categories for "those who had been settled in the thirteen colonies at the outbreak of the American Revolution, who remained loyal to and took up the Royal Standard, and who settled in what is now Canada at the end of the war. For more about these Loyalists, read “History of the Loyalists," at United Empire Loyalists Association of Canada.
