Lorenzo Sabine (1803-77) worked as a trader, in customs and for the
Treasury Department before he was elected to the United States
Congress in 1852. This work, published in 1847, is a series of
biographical sketches (some very short, others extensive) of the
American Loyalists - those men and women who took the British side
during the American Revolution. The alphabetically arranged
biographies are preceded by an essay in which Sabine describes the
background to the War of Independence, examining geographical and
economic as well as political factors. He argues that the
documentary evidence from the period demonstrates that the
arguments in favour of independence at the time were practical, and
not simply the ideologically driven desire for 'liberty' which the
founding myth of the United States had since proclaimed. The work
is a fascinating reminder that large numbers of Americans stayed
loyal to the Crown in 1776.
