Calhoon, Hardcover by Brannon, Rebecca (EDT); Moore, Joseph S. (EDT), ISBN 1611179505, ISBN-13 9781611179507, Brand New, Free shipping in the US This volume brings together 16 essays in honor of historian Robert M. Calhoon and his work on Loyalist ideology before, during, and after the American Revolution. Historians and other researchers from North America explore Loyalist ideologies and conceptions of self, including the way of thinking that led some Virginia planters to become moderate Loyalists, Quaker women writers, the Loyalist experience in occupied New York, Lord Cornwallis' disdain for Loyalist recruiting, Loyalist commander Alexander Chesney in South Carolina, and Loyalist refugees and their slaves in Nova Scotia after the war. The second section considers how Loyalists dealt with the outcomes of their actions and their inability to win the war, including lawyers who helped Loyalists regain their confiscated property, Breed and Ruth Batcheller's experiences of Loyalism in New Hampshire, pacifist nonjurors in Pennsylvania, how Loyalists were reintegrated into the US, how historian David Ramsay plagiarized a large part of his history of South Carolina from Loyalist Alexander Hewatt, and Loyalists who resettled in the Canadian Maritime provinces. The afterword places Calhoon's career and intellectual development in the context of the influence of Greensboro and its prominence in the American civil rights movement.
