Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. Historians traditionally have held that New York was a stronghold of loyalism during the American Revolution. Tracing the activities of loyalists in New York from 1765 through the end of the revolution, Philip Ranlet tests that assumption that Tories were more numerous in New York than in any other province and finds abundant evidence of loyalist weakness. Drawing on a vast array of primary sources, Ranlet argues that New Yorkers were as militantly patriotic as other colonists in opposing British tax measures and determines that perhaps as few as 15 percent were actually loyalists during the war - a much smaller figure than was previously estimated. Ranlet concludes that the revolution as a whole received far more popular support than has been heretofore imagined, and that loyalism was weaker and the colonies more united against the British than is commonly believed. Illustrated with maps and photos. Notes. Bibliography. 303 pp. Brand new hardcover in a new, mylar covered, dust jacket. The photos on the listing page are of the actual book for sale. Always carefully packaged and shipped quickly. N° de réf. du vendeur 002418
