The United Empire Loyalists played a prominent role in the development of this country. In particular, the officers and men of the Royal Highland Emigrants, the King's Royal Regiment of New York, the Loyal Rangers and the King’s Rangers displayed unswerving fidelity in defence of the city and province of Quebec during the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783. In later years, they subdued the wilderness to create new homes and to lay the foundations of the province of Upper Canada.
