The Massachusetts loyalists, or tories, were citizens who in thought, word, or deed recognized and preferred British rule to home rule. Due to their support for the crown, many of these men and women left permanently for Canada or other places. Others remained in Massachusetts during the war or chose to return after the Revolution. The database includes information on 1,705 loyalists.
