Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jared Ingersoll a Study of American Loyalism in Relation, to British Colonial Government In the present study an attempt has been made to illuminate certain aspects of the very complex relationship existing between England and her American colonies during the later colonial period. For this purpose the life of Jared Ingersoll of New Haven, Connecticut, has been selected as the central theme. Probably no one was more intimately identified with the last disastrous phases of the British experiment with a reorganized system for administering American affairs than was Ingersoll, and it is also probable that no one in America possessed a more intelligently sympathetic comprehension of what the home government had in mind or strove more earnestly and ably to persuade his fellow countrymen to accept the ministerial program in good faith. Judge Ingersoll stands as representative of a group, the importance and numerical weight of which has not, at least until very recently, been fully appreciated. He was no more a radical in his support of the crown than was John Dickinson in his support of the colonists. While he opposed the propaganda of the liberty group whenever the occasion seemed to demand it, his opposition never was manifested in violent reaction. In other words, he was a loyalist but a moderate; while at times he displayed great courage in defending his position he was characteristically cautious; he typifies the innate conservatism of the man of property who prospers and consequently is satisfied in the midst of discontent.

Download or read book The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold An American Life written by Joyce Lee Malcolm and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid and timely re-examination of one of young America’s most complicated figures: the war hero turned infamous traitor, Benedict Arnold. Proud and talented, history now remembers this conflicted man solely through the lens of his last desperate act of treason. Yet the fall of Benedict Arnold remains one of the Revolutionary period’s great puzzles. Why did a brilliant military commander, who repeatedly risked his life fighting the British, who was grievously injured in the line of duty, and fell into debt personally funding his own troops, ultimately became a traitor to the patriot cause? Historian Joyce Lee Malcolm skillfully unravels the man behind the myth and gives us a portrait of the true Arnold and his world. There was his dramatic victory against the British at Saratoga in 1777 and his troubled childhood in a pre-revolutionary America beset with class tension and economic instability. We witness his brilliant wartime military exploits and learn of his contentious relationship with a newly formed and fractious Congress, fearful of powerful military leaders, like Arnold, who could threaten the nation’s fragile democracy. Throughout, Malcolm weaves in portraits of Arnold’s great allies—George Washington, General Schuyler, his beautiful and beloved wife Peggy Shippen, and others—as well as his unrelenting enemy John Adams, British General Clinton, and master spy John Andre. Thrilling and thought-provoking, The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold sheds new light on a man—as well on the nuanced and complicated time in which he lived.
