What happen to the property of the banished loyalist?

When loyalists were banished after the American Revolutionary War, their properties were often confiscated by the new state governments. These properties were sometimes sold at public auction or distributed to patriots and other supporters of the revolution. In many cases, loyalists faced significant financial losses, and the confiscation of their assets contributed to ongoing tensions between loyalists and patriots in the post-war period. Some loyalists were eventually able to recover their property through legal means, but this varied widely depending on individual circumstances.
