Who were the colonist who remained loyal to the king of England during the American revolution?

Answer:
Colonists who remained loyal were called Tories. There is no official list of who remained loyal and who did not. A famous Tory was Benjamin Franklin's son, William Franklin who was the last loyalist governor of New Jersey.
