Loyalist settlements

Loyalist settlements refer to communities established by American colonists who remained loyal to Britain during the American Revolution. After the war, many Loyalists faced persecution and chose to relocate, primarily to British-held territories like Canada. These settlers often formed organized communities, called Loyalist settlements, where they built homes, farms, and churches. Their migration helped shape the development of regions such as Ontario, contributing to the cultural and demographic landscape of Canada. These settlements showcased their commitment to the British Crown and played a significant role in the expansion of British influence in North America.
