True or False: Life of the loyalist was easy during the revolutionary war.

They were even more despised and hated than the British soldiers who fought for the Crown.
Loyalists were North American colonialists who remained true to the British crown in the American War of Independence. Also referred to as the King's Men and the Royalists. Those loyalists who moved from America to Canada were called the United Kingdom Loyalists or in English the United Empire Loyalists. Their North American rivals were Patriots American citizens who supported the revolution.
Many historians say that the number of Loyalists in America was about 100,000, which would turn out to be 5% of the then American population.
In 1775, the British Governor of Virginia Dunmore invited all slaves of patriotic owners to flee and join his army. 3000 of them did. Black loyalists fought one battle under the motto: "freedom to slaves." After that first and last battle, half of them died of illness in British camps.
About 5,000 blacks participated in the rebel army. Black slaves who would participate in the rebel army were often freed and this prompted them to increasingly report to the local militias of the colonies in which they live. Very few free blacks went to loyalists.
When the war ended, the loyalists took approximately 75,000 to 100,000 free slaves and took them with them. They were taken to other British colonies in the West Indies and Jamaica where they were recaptured and exploited by the British.
