About This Book

The author presents a narrative and documentary study of Massachusetts loyalists, tracing colonial charters and Puritan settlements, analyzing political causes and popular unrest that led to the Revolution from the loyalist viewpoint. It documents expulsions, refugee settlement in Canada, later Anglo-American encounters, and postwar reconciliation. The second part compiles portraits, addresses, lists of refugees and confiscated estates, and reproduces relevant legal acts, offering biographical sketches and primary documents to illustrate the experiences and legal consequences faced by those who remained loyal.
