How were colonial loyalists treated after the War of Independence?

by Kloepta

I'm mainly interested to see how those who served in loyalist militias or units were treated i.e.: were they persecuted to any extent or "marked men" in the post-war world. Also, was there an "exodus" to other still British held lands (Canada or the West Indies)?

Thanks

What happens socially to those who don't support a revolution after a successful revolution? Most specifically curious about what happened to know loyalists post American War

After the American Revolution were loyalists who fled to Canada and Britain still considered American citizens?
