What were some of the consequences of being a loyalist during the American Revolution?

Loyalists were treated horribly compared to everybody else. Some who remained in the United States faced difficult times. Their neighbors often shunned them. Some became victims of violence. Loyalists who actively helped the British faced arrest. In a few rare cases, Patriots executed Loyalists. (i hope this helped! <3)
