Answer:

The Loyalists.

Step-by-step explanation:

Loyalists were those colonists who stayed loyal to the British throne during the American Revolution. They are also known as Tories, Royalists, or King's Men. Loyalists constituted about one-third, that is 20% of the colonist population, who supported British. They remained loyal to the Great Britain.

During the American Revolution, Loyalists were a group that were constantly harrassed by the Patriots. They seized their properties as well.

Therefore, the correct answer is Loyalists.
