During the 1800s, particularly after the American Revolutionary War, estimates suggest that loyalists, or those who remained loyal to the British Crown, made up about 15-20% of the American population. Many loyalists fled to Canada or other British territories following the war, which significantly decreased their numbers in the United States. By the early 1800s, the percentage of loyalists had dwindled further, as the nation increasingly embraced its independence and identity.
