The Loyalists were the people who remained loyal to the British Crown rather than were in favour of independence.

The Loyalist were on the average older and partially also richer: they were better established and therefore a change would be a risk for them. This was their reason: they were afraid of change and of loosing their position.

The Loyalists are those American people who strongly opposed the Revolution. They are being called as "Tories" by their enemies. The Loyalists believed in the John Locke's theory of natural rights and limited government. They only wanted to pursue a peaceful form of protest because  of their belief that violence is not the answer to the complaints thus, it will only give way to tyranny that would even cause greater protests from the people. Some loyalists remain loyal to the King because they believed of what the King has to offer and they believe they have the same goals and visions as of the King's.

The last British Army in the area was led by General Cornwallis. The army retreated to the town of Yorktown. But then they were attacked. The British tried to escape by sea but the recently allied French had their navy blocking the British ships from escaping. While the French were blocking their escape by sea, the combined army of the Colonist and the French attacked by land. With no hope of escape or reinforcements, the British surrendered. This marked the last battle of the Revolutionary War.
