Loyalist communities
Loyalist communities are groups of individuals primarily in parts of Canada, especially in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, who uphold and support the British monarchy and heritage. Historically, they are descendants of settlers loyal to Britain during the American Revolution and subsequent conflicts. These communities often emphasize preservation of British culture, traditions, and identity, sometimes maintaining strong patriotic or conservative values. Their existence reflects historical loyalties and cultural heritage that have remained significant in these regions over centuries.
