O well educated.
O from among the older generation.
O affiliated with the anglican church.
O from new england.

Answer 1

Loyalists were generally older, often Anglican, and lived in urban centers, but were not necessarily from New England. They feared the implications of independence and supported the Crown during the American Revolution, with many later relocating to other parts of the British Empire. Therefore, the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Loyalists who continued to support the crown after independence had been declared were more likely to be well educated, from among the older generation, affiliated with the Anglican Church, but they were not necessarily from New England. In fact, Loyalists tended to live in urban centers, especially the port cities. They included royal officials, merchants with ties to Great Britain, and various others who feared the consequences of a break with Britain and saw the revolution as a threat to their political, social, and economic rights. They assisted the British cause by serving in the army, procuring supplies, and gathering intelligence. After the war, while many stayed and became U.S. citizens, approximately 70,000 left for other parts of the British Empire.
