The Loyalists In The American Revolution (1902) (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

The review from Amazon.com reviewer
Van Tyne's work is widely quoted and referenced in subsequent, less intense works on the plight of the Loyalists during the American Revolution. His intense research of newspaper accounts, letters, journals and papers of prominent loyalists of the period, has resulted in a work which is considered today a classic. The files of the Loyalist newspaper "Rivington's Gazette" proved to be invaluable regarding the plight and activities of the Loyalists. Van Tyne looks at the origin and evolution of the Loyalists movement, anti-loyalist legislation by the revolutionary government, and treatment of Loyalists including confiscation of property and restriction of civil liberties. He also addresses the British governbment's attitude and policies toward the Loyalists, their support and compensation during the war along with the British army involvement in the raising, support and joint operations with Loyalists units in the Colonies. Three appendices address Loyalists declarations, test laws by different states to restrict activities and principle laws enacted against Loyalists by each state. Van Tyne was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1930 for his work on the American Revolution. This is an excellent, readable, well documented work.
