After the failed American revolution the colonies of New York, New Jersey, and Georgia were called "The Loyal Colonies". This courtesy was soon extended to include South and North Carolina and Mane. The Loyal Colonies received privileges from Britain long before the Rebel Colonies did.

The British attempted to enforce the Proclamation Line of 1763. Anyone who crossed the line without the local governor's consent were considered to be outlaws or rebels, and they gave up any English rights or protections. A large number of settlers, never the less, did move into the indian regions following the war.
