Answer:

C. Loyalists.

Explanation:

The American Revolutionary War was a war of independence of the United States of America that was fought between the 19th of April, 1775 and 3rd of September, 1783. The war started when the delegates from the thirteen (13) American colonies in Congress (First continental congress) revolted against the Great Britain over their lack of representation in the colonies and refusal to give consent to parliament's taxation such as Stamp Act and Townshend Acts.

Loyalists refers to a group of people known as American colonists that were completely loyal to the British Crown during the Revolutionary Period of war. These loyalists were commonly referred to as Royalists, Tories, or King's men during the Revolutionary Period. The loyalists (residents of East and West Florida) went around raiding nearby states and as such were referred to as group of American colonists who were inimical to the liberty of America by the Patriots.

During the Revolutionary Period, most residents of East and West Florida were loyalists; thus, they refused or objected to sending representatives to any of the sessions of the continental congress that comprised of the thirteen (13) North American colonies.
