Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book documents the fight against feudal land ownership that took place in upstate New York in the 19th century. It sets the conflict within the broader context of land tenure throughout history, from the origins of private property in Europe, to the anti-rent wars of the American Revolution and the legal battles that followed. The book delves into the historical claims of the patroons, who had inherited their estates from the Dutch colonial era. Drawing upon primary source material like letters and newspaper accounts, the author describes how these landlords oppressed their tenants with unreasonable rents and archaic rules, leading to widespread civil unrest. The book brings to life leaders of the anti-rent movement like Thomas Peaslee, who would become a state senator instrumental to the passage of laws regulating feudal land tenure.
