New York had the most loyalists, IIRC.
Why would New Yorkers be more likely to be loyalists than people in the other 12 colonies?

It may have had to do with strong trade connections with Britain and the British Empire, and in contrast with New England and Pennsylvania, no origins in religious non-conformity and self-government (although of course there was religious diversity in the region.)
