Loyalist Movements

Loyalist movements are groups or individuals who support the existing authority or government, often resisting change or revolution. Historically, loyalists are notably associated with the American Revolution, where they remained loyal to the British Crown, opposing independence. In a broader context, loyalist movements can emerge in various situations, including conflicts over national identity or governance, where some factions prefer to uphold the current regime rather than pursue revolutionary change. These movements often emphasize stability, tradition, and allegiance to a governing body, and their followers may face significant social or political challenges during periods of upheaval.
