The Loyalists were people who didn't get along with the Patriot, they saw them as vermin. Loyalists we in favor of law and order most of all they feared disorder. John Adams was a faithful Patriot and Jonathan Sewed a Loyalist, they once had an encountered with each other and Jonathan told John not to mess with England as John replies that he will always be with America no matter what. About 1/5 of the colonists were Loyalists and many more were neutral, as this caused many troubles like in the separation of families etc. They both had stereotypes of each other, this causing the rivalry.
The Loyalists appealed to Native Americans and slaves. Various things caused the rivalry of the Loyalists to the Patriots.
