[PAR] [TLE] Montfort Browne [SEP] Montfort Browne (fl.  1760–1780) was a British Army officer and Tory, and a major landowner and developer of British West Florida in the 1760s and 1770s.  He commanded the Prince of Wales' American Regiment, a Loyalist regiment, in the American Revolutionary War.  He served as lieutenant governor of West Florida from 1766 to 1769, acting as governor from 1767, and then as governor of the Bahamas from 1774 to 1780. [PAR] [TLE] Loyalist (American Revolution) [SEP] Loyalists were American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War.  At the time they were often called Tories, Royalists, or King's Men.  They were opposed by the Patriots, those who supported the revolution and called them "persons inimical to the liberties of America".  Prominent Loyalists repeatedly assured the British government that many thousands of loyalists would spring to arms and fight for the crown.  The British government acted in expectation of that, especially in the southern campaigns in 1780-81.  In practice, the number of loyalists in military service was far lower than expected.  Across the colonies, Patriots watched suspected Loyalists very closely, and would not tolerate any organized Loyalist opposition.  Many outspoken or militarily active loyalists were forced to flee, especially to their stronghold of New York City.
