USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tens of thousands of Loyalists migrated to British North America during and after the war. This boosted the population, led to the creation of Upper Canada and New Brunswick, and heavily influenced the politics and culture of what would become Canada.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Happened to the Loyalists? In the end, many Loyalists simply left America. About 80, 000 of them fled to Canada or Britain during or just after the war. Because Loyalists were often wealthy, educated, older, and Anglican, the American social fabric was altered by their departure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Many Loyalist refugees resettled in Canada after losing their place, property, and security during the Revolution. The Loyalists, some of whose ancestors helped found America, left a well-armed population hostile to the King and his loyalist subjects to build the new nation of Canada.

Detailed explanation-4: -The American Revolution, by provoking the Loyalist migration, thus fundamentally influenced Canada’s people, its provinces, and its institutions, and helped to create the Canada we know today.

Detailed explanation-5: -But loyalists were on the losing side of the Revolution. Their businesses were ransacked, the homes confiscated, and after the war as many as 70, 000 loyalists became refugees, fleeing to British imperial outposts in Canada and the Caribbean, or back to England itself.
