D is the correct answer. Because the loyalists were dedicated to the king, they were not very accepted of in the new country. They left to live back in their home country, and some moved to Canada.

Answer:

Some left to go back to England and others left to live in Canada.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the American Revolution ended and Britain lost the war, there were thousands of loyalists in the US. Some went to Britain with the British army, some ended up going to Canada and settled in the province of Nova Scotia or New Brunswick.

About 60 thousand loyalists left the United States, the majority of them went to Canada. Some of them went to Florida and others went back to Great Britain.
