The loyalists of America and their times
The work presents a documentary-minded history that defends and reconstructs the Loyalist perspective during the imperial conflicts that produced American independence, compiling proclamations, letters, and official records to recount colonial origins, political contests, the exile and resettlement of Loyalists in British North America, and the later military and diplomatic tensions up to the early nineteenth century; it evaluates conduct on both sides, traces provincial development after resettlement, and situates Loyalist experience within debates over empire, loyalty, and national formation.
