Loyalists were the first to sign up to fight against the British.
Even though Loyalists didn't support the war, they wanted to support their colony by contributing muskets and food for Patriot soldiers.
Loyalists didn't support the war and moved to Canada.

Respuesta :

American Loyalists or "Tories," as they were called by their opponents (the Tories were members of one of the two political parties that existed in England since the 17th century) remained faithful to the British Empire during the war and they didn't support it. After the Patriot victory, most of the Loyalists went to Canada, playing a central role in the development of that nation.  

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

The Loyalists were colonists who remained loyal to Britain. They provided support to the British during the Revolutionary War. After the war, most fled to Canada, but the question is asking what they did during the war. The correct answer was A on my assignment.
