What did it mean to stand with the Crown while your neighbours marched for independence? In eighteenth century New York, that choice shattered lives and reshaped an entire colony. Loyalty cost some families everything. In Loyalism in New York during the American Revolution, Alexander Clarence Flick traces the rise, struggle, and defeat of loyalists in New York, examining who they were, why they chose the king, and how they fought to hold a loyal province in a revolutionary age. Combining narrative drive with painstaking research, this classic scholarly history monograph offers a definitive colonial New York study and a richly detailed american revolution reference book on tories during American Revolution politics, society, and war. Through the prism of one colony, Flick illuminates the wider story of british loyalism in America and the deep fractures within New York colony history and colonial America political history. Long recognised as a foundational work in american loyalist studies, this volume remains essential for history students exploring the Revolution from more than one side and for academic researchers seeking an authoritative account of loyalist organisation, persecution, and exile. Readers of serious narrative history will find a compelling portrait of divided communities and contested allegiance. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
