Why were the loyalists displaced?

Loyalists were displaced primarily due to their allegiance to the British crown during the American Revolutionary War, which put them at odds with the revolutionary patriots. Following the war, many faced persecution, violence, and social ostracism, leading them to flee to areas such as Canada or Britain. Additionally, the changing political landscape and confiscation of property further motivated their displacement, as they sought safety and stability in regions aligned with their loyalty to Britain.
