- "It is wrong to compel obedience - whether to the British Crown or the Templar Cross. And I hope in time the Loyalists will see this too, for they are also victims."
- ―Ratonhnhaké:ton to Haytham Kenway.[src]
Loyalists, also known as Tories, Royalists or King's Men were those who sided with the British during the American Revolution. It is estimated that as many as one in five colonists were Loyalists. Loyalists in Patriot communities were frequently dragged from their homes, beaten, burned with candles, or tarred and feathered.
Loyalists also included members of the Iroquois League, who felt King George III respected their borders. The Kanien'kehá:ka village of Kanatahséton joined the British after Charles Lee manipulated Kanen'tó:kon into believing Ratonhnhaké:ton had betrayed them by siding with the Patriots. Loyalists also included former slaves like George Davidson, who were recruited by Lord Dunmore following promises of freedom.
