What group of colonists has stronger ties to Britain and why?

The Loyalists, also known as Tories, had stronger ties to Britain during the American Revolution. They were often loyal to the British Crown due to economic interests, political affiliations, and cultural connections, viewing Britain as a source of stability and order. Many Loyalists were wealthy landowners, merchants, or government officials who benefited from their relationship with Britain and feared the implications of rebellion on their social and economic status.
