Life was not good for Loyalists who remained in America after the Revolution.
Explanation:
The Loyalists, the Americans who fought on Britain's side during the American Revolution, were considered traitors by the supporters of the rebellion. While many fled to Britain, leaving their wealth behind, others stayed and were publicly humiliated by tar-and-feathering or even hanged for treason.
Their property was also usually taken away through legal maneuverings by the government or through force by militias and mobs.
