Answer 2

American Loyalists or "Tories," as they were called by their opponents (the Tories were members of one of the two political parties that existed in England since the 17th century) remained faithful to the British Empire during the war and they didn't support it. After the Patriot victory, most of the Loyalists went to Canada, playing a central role in the development of that nation.
