The Plight of Loyalists in Massachusetts During the Revolutionary War
As the drumbeat to independence grew louder, Loyalists faced their Patriot neighbors’ scorn and also the agonizing decision of whether or not to flee their towns and homes.
Various historians have estimated that between 60,000 and 100,000 people fled the colonies by the time “America’s first civil war” ended.
Dr. Larry Kerpelman will present a picture of how ordinary Massachusetts Loyalists and their Patriot neighbors interacted with one another during the fraught time as thoughts of independence spread through the American Colonies.
