Book excerpt: "This study analyzes loyalism in a local setting, specifically in Virginia in the Eastern shore counties of Accomack and Northhampton, and at Norfolk Borough and its surrounding counties of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Isle of Wight, and Nansemond ... Local analysis of loyalism provides a new perspective on the importance of ideology in the American Revolution. Nonideological factors operated both in the behavior of loyalists and in the response of the patriots. Much activity which was labeled loyalist was based on self-serving, expedient motives ... Concerns for community stability and interpersonal harmony were often more important in determining the treatment of loyalists than was the nature of loyalist behavior or ideology"--Introduction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "General studies of loyalism have stressed the ideological bases for the choice of loyalism or patriotism. This thesis examines loyalism as a local phenomenon, revealing the importance of non-ideological reasons for loyalist behavior and for patriotic response to that behavior. Data [was] examined for 544 loyalists. A variety of official and literary sources provided information on loyalists and on their loyalist communities. Among the sources were county court records, tax lists, loyalist claims for losses, state council journals, letters, personal papers, and newspaper reports. The study looks at loyalism in two areas of eastern Virginia -- the reasons individuals became loyalist, the nature of loyalist behavior, and the treatment of loyalists by patriots. Loyalist sentiment during the American Revolution was widespread in two pockets of Virginia around Chesapeake Bay: the Eastern shore counties of Accomack and Northampton and the Norfolk borough region of Norfolk, Princess Anne, Nansemond, and Isle of Wight counties. Focus is placed on loyalists as members of a community. Two groups of loyalists are examined -- those who left Virginia and those who remained during and after the war"--Abstract.

Download or read book Forced Founders written by Woody Holton and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2011-01-20 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative reinterpretation of one of the best-known events in American history, Woody Holton shows that when Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other elite Virginians joined their peers from other colonies in declaring independence from Britain, they acted partly in response to grassroots rebellions against their own rule. The Virginia gentry's efforts to shape London's imperial policy were thwarted by British merchants and by a coalition of Indian nations. In 1774, elite Virginians suspended trade with Britain in order to pressure Parliament and, at the same time, to save restive Virginia debtors from a terrible recession. The boycott and the growing imperial conflict led to rebellions by enslaved Virginians, Indians, and tobacco farmers. By the spring of 1776 the gentry believed the only way to regain control of the common people was to take Virginia out of the British Empire. Forced Founders uses the new social history to shed light on a classic political question: why did the owners of vast plantations, viewed by many of their contemporaries as aristocrats, start a revolution? As Holton's fast-paced narrative unfolds, the old story of patriot versus loyalist becomes decidedly more complex.

Download or read book Unnatural Rebellion written by Ruma Chopra and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2011-05-29 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thousands of British American mainland colonists rejected the War for American Independence. Shunning rebel violence as unnecessary, unlawful, and unnatural, they emphasized the natural ties of blood, kinship, language, and religion that united the colonies to Britain. They hoped that British military strength would crush the minority rebellion and free the colonies to renegotiate their return to the empire. Of course the loyalists were too American to be of one mind. This is a story of how a cross-section of colonists flocked to the British headquarters of New York City to support their ideal of reunion. Despised by the rebels as enemies or as British appendages, New York’s refugees hoped to partner with the British to restore peaceful government in the colonies. The British confounded their expectations by instituting martial law in the city and marginalizing loyalist leaders. Still, the loyal Americans did not surrender their vision but creatively adapted their rhetoric and accommodated military governance to protect their long-standing bond with the mother country. They never imagined that allegiance to Britain would mean a permanent exile from their homes.
