Patriots and Loyalist

When the British citizens arrived in North America they began separating into two groups. They were known as the patriots and the loyalist. There was a major difference between the patriots and the loyalist. The patriots were against King Edward III and almost all of the British. The loyalist kept obeying King Edward III even after they entered North America. However, I don't understand why the loyalist were loyal to King Edward III.

I believe that the loyalist should have resisted being loyal to King Edward III. King Edward III was about 1,000 miles away from North America. News from North America wouldn't reach him until a least 5 days after it happened. As a result, he couldn't restore anything quickly. They didn't have the technology we have today. President Bush can be made aware of anything that occurs in the US in a matter of minutes.
