Your question is confusing to say the least.

If you wanted to know who would have stayed as Loyalists during the Anmerican War of Independence I would include the following:
(There would be many who held several of these reasons at the same time )

1. Large landowners who may lose title to their land
2. People who had government positions
3. families of those who served in either the crown or loyalist armies
4 Indians who trusted the Crown rather than land hungry rebels
5. Small "c" conservatives who prefer peace, order and good government to the unknown of republicanism
6. New arrivals from England, Scotland, , Germany, Ireland, who prefer a king and parliament to what they saw as a bunch of radicals
7. Merchant and business classes with strong ties to England
8. Slaves who were promised their freedom if they joined the loyalists
9 Monarchists who really loved and respected the king

There were many in this country who were Loyalists and did not want to be free of British rule. Remember, most of the colonies were populated with people from England who considered themselves English and loyal subjects of the King. Another reason was that many felt these colonies were too disorganized to offer the safety and protection they needed, especially on the high seas in trade routes. Many business men wanted nothing to do with revolution. And then thee were other groups such as the Quakers, who preached against any war and who would not fight for religious reasons.

One should stay a loyalist because Great Britain is the recognized Government and to join with those terrorist resisting taxation and the King's authority is morally wrong.


Peace....
