Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Loyalists were the ones that were loyal to the British Crown. They believed that American independence would mean the loss of economic benefits that came from the “partnership” with the British. They were the minority, about 19 thousand.

The ones that supported the quest for freedom from Britain were called colonists also known as patriots, revolutionaries, continentals, colonials, Yankees ow whigs.
