Resisting Independence: Popular Loyalism in the Revolutionary British Atlantic-P2P
In Resisting Independence, Brad A. Jones maps the loyal British Atlantic’s reaction to the American Revolution. Through close study of four important British Atlantic port cities―New York City; Kingston, Jamaica; Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Glasgow, Scotland―Jones argues that the revolution helped trigger a new understanding of loyalty to the Crown and empire. This compelling account reimagines Loyalism as a shared transatlantic ideology, no less committed to ideas of liberty and freedom than the American cause and not limited to the inhabitants of the thirteen American colonies.
Jones reminds readers that the American Revolution was as much a story of loyalty as it was of rebellion. Loyal Britons faced a daunting task―to refute an American Patriot cause that sought to dismantle their nation’s claim to a free and prosperous Protestant empire. For the inhabitants of these four cities, rejecting American independence thus required a rethinking of the beliefs and ideals that framed their loyalty to the Crown and previously drew together Britain’s vast Atlantic empire.
