In general loyalism refers to an individual's allegiance toward an established government, political party, or sovereign, especially during times of war and revolt. The most common usage of the term refers to loyalty to the Great Britain, especially to opponents of the American Revolution and those exiles who went to Canada.
The term loyalist was also used during the Spanish Civil War, applying to Republicans who remained loyal to the Spanish Republic against Franco's "Nationalists."
In North America, the term loyalist characterised colonists who rejected the American Revolution in favour of remaining within the British Empire. American loyalists included royal officials, Anglican clergymen, wealthy merchants with ties to London, demobilised British soldiers, and recent arrivals (especially from Scotland), as well as many ordinary colonists who were conservative by nature and/or felt that the protection of Britain was needed. Colonists with loyalist sympathies accounted for an estimated 15% to 20% of the white colonial population of the day, compared with those described as "Patriots", who accounted for about 40-50% of the population. This high level of political polarisation leads historians to argue that the American Revolution was as much a civil war as it was a war of independence from the British Crown.

Plot: In the Battle of Thermopylae of 480 BC an alliance of Greek city-states fought the invading Persian army in the mountain pass of Thermopylae. Vastly outnumbered, the Greeks held back the enemy in one of the most famous last stands of history. Persian King Xerxes lead a Army of well over 100,000 (Persian king Xerxes before war has about 170,000 army) men to Greece and was confronted by 300 Spartans, and several hundred Arcadians. Xerxes waited for 10 days for King Leonidas to surrender or withdraw left with no options he moved. The battle lasted for about 3 days and after which all 300 Spartans were killed. The Spartan defeat was not the one expected, as a local shepherd, named Ephialtes, defected to the Persians and informed Xerxes of a separate path through Thermopylae, which the Persians could use to outflank the Greeks.

A 3 part series that takes a look at the war in Northern Ireland, in this segment we explore the Loyalists, a group loyal to British rule and a terrorist organization created to be the answer to the IRA. The Loyalists or the red hand were merciless in dealing with anyone they saw as a threat to their community, like the IRA they used bombings and assasinations but were less sophisticated in their methods, often killing inoccent people who were not IRA members just to make a point. ( comments disabled do to idiotic behavior )
Michael Stone's first television interview after being released from The Maze prison in 2000. The Loyalist icon had been jailed after launching an audacious one-man attack on an IRA funeral in Belfast's Milltown cemetery. His attack was claimed to be aimed at senior IRA members but he injured mainly innocent men, women and children. He is hailed as one of the greatest ever Loyalists and this all just shows how little substance and validity Loyalism actually has.
Tribute to a true protestant how was not afraid to speak out. RIP - To The Son of Ulster , Billy Wright
