The Consequences of Loyalism : Essays in Honor of Robert M. Calhoon / edited by Rebecca Brannon and Joseph S. Moore. Columbia, South Carolina : The University of South Carolina Press, 2019. xii, 333 pages ; 24 cm.
Nova Scotia Archives Library - use request slip - E277 C65 2019
Since the 1970s scholars have regarded Robert M. Calhoon as an invigorating and definitive force when it comes to the study of American Loyalism. His decades-long work redefined the Loyalists' role in the American Revolution from being portrayed as static characters opposing change to being seen eventually as reactionary actors adapting to a society in upheaval. Loyalists were central to the Revolution, and Calhoon and these authors argue that they were not so different in ideology from their Patriot neighbors — except occasionally when they were. In The Consequences of Loyalism, Rebecca Brannon and Joseph S. Moore seek to provide an understanding of Calhoon's foundational influence and the development continuing in the wake of his prolific career. Includes bibliographic references and index.
