During the American Revolution, those who continued to support King George III of Great Britain came to be known as Loyalists. Loyalists are to be contrasted with Patriots, who supported the Revolution. Historians have estimated that during the American Revolution, between 15 and 20 percent of the white population of the colonies, or about 500,000 people, were Loyalists. As the war concluded with Great Britain defeated by the Americans and the French, the most active Loyalists were no longer welcome in the United States, and sought to move elsewhere in the British Empire. The large majority (about 80%–90%) of the Loyalists remained in the United States, however, and enjoyed full citizenship there.

rdfs:comment	L’expulsion des Loyalistes est un évènement qui a suivi la défaite de la Grande-Bretagne par les Patriotes américains des Treize Colonies et les Français à la bataille de Yorktown. Appelés « Loyalistes », les Américains restés fidèles au roi d’Angleterre, pendant la révolution américaine, furent considérés par les nouveaux Américains comme des traitres à la cause de l’indépendance américaine et furent expulsés de la nouvelle nation des États-Unis.
