I don't know that I would say the Tories gave up to British rule, they had always been under British rule, and they considered themselves British, living in the British colonies in America. It wasn't giving up, it was what they wanted and expected. They did of course eventually give up and accept the loss, either living in an independent America, or moving elsewhere (mostly to Canada)
