4.9/5 (15781 ratings)

Description:Thousands of British American mainland colonists rejected the War forAmerican Independence. Shunning rebel violence as unnecessary, unlawful, and unnatural, theyemphasized the natural ties of blood, kinship, language, and religion that united the colonies toBritain. They hoped that British military strength would crush the minority rebellion and free thecolonies to renegotiate their return to the empire.Of course the loyalists weretoo American to be of one mind. This is a story of how a cross-section of colonists flocked tothe British headquarters of New York City to support their ideal of reunion. Despised by the rebelsas enemies or as British appendages, New York’s refugees hoped to partner with the British torestore peaceful government in the colonies. The British confounded their expectations byinstituting martial law in the city and marginalizing loyalist leaders. Still, the loyal Americansdid not surrender their vision but creatively adapted their rhetoric and accommodated militarygovernance to protect their long-standing bond with the mother country. They never imagined thatallegiance to Britain would mean a permanent exile from their homes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
