<p><b>New page</b></p><div>In the political tradition of England the term '''Tory''' was first coined in the late [[18th century]] to describe what was unofficially described as "the King's Party", opponents of the [[Whig Party|Whigs]]. English Tories from the time of the [[Glorious Revolution]] of 1688 up until the [[Reform Bill of 1832]] were characterized by strong [[monarchist]] tendencies, support of all traditionalist institutions and norms, notably the [[House of Lords]] and the [[Church of England]], and hostility to change and reform, unless it could be proved demonstrably good, while the Tory Party as an actual organization held power intermittently throughout the same period. <br />
<br />
After 1832 and the rebranding of the Tory Party to the [[Conservative Party]], "Tory" has continued to be, wrongly, shorthand for a member of the Conservative Party or for the party in general, sometimes but by no means always, as a term of abuse. Many conservatives still call themselves "Tory" or "High Tory" to differentiate themselves from opponents and from the liberals who have today taken over that party.<br />
<br />
The term has also been occasionally used in [[North America]], where "Tory" was originally a description of the [[Conservative Party of Canada]], although that too is no longer "Tory". <br />
<br />
During the [[American Revolution]], "Tory" was often used to describe loyalist colonists who sided with Great Britain against the revolutionaries, while another nickname for them at this time was lobsterbacks, referring to the red coats of British soldiers. The term was also used during the [[American Civil War]], when supporters of the [[Confederate States of America|Confederacy]] extended the term to Southern [[Unionists (American)|Unionists]].<br />
