Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth overview of the laws created by a newly formed Provincial Congress and Assembly that aimed to seize loyalist property in 1770s Massachusetts. The author traces the evolution of these laws from an attempt to protect abandoned property, to a more aggressive seizure and sale of assets. The book highlights the tension between the revolutionary ideals of the time and the harsh treatment of those deemed loyal to the crown, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of the American Revolution, and the ways in which a newly formed government dealt with an internal threat. The author argues that this transition in policy was largely driven by the desire to sustain the war effort by conscripting any assets available to the new state. In doing so, they provide a greater understanding of the challenges faced by the early American government, and the role that confiscation played in shaping the nation's history.
