• Loyalists from Carolina up to Boston and scattered out, who were 1/6 of the Colonists in America, were colonists who were still loyal to Britain and either chose to fight along side them or evacuate to either Canada or back to Britain.
• 600,000-70,000 went to leave the states to go north to Canada
• 50,000 flee from masters, 20,000 picked up by British
• The American Revolution pushed some Indians towards to siding with the British, believing that they may actually keep their land.
• The Battle of York was the Revolution's final battle when Washington and Lafayette cornered Cornwallis ,as well as by the French Navy, so he could not evacuate or resupply from Britain.
• The Treaty of Paris assimilates with The Treaty of Permanent Alliance, it states that Britain acknowledges America's independence, Loyalists' property are return to them, they would be know obstacle when British merchants would come to collect debts, Americans can fish off of Newfoundland, and the Boundaries lie on the Mississippi.
