Maryland Loyalists in the American Revolution tells the story of
Marylanders who could not engage in the passionate rebellion that
was breaking out all around them. Although most were nearly as
disillusioned with England as their rebel counterparts, the
loyalists held their ground and refused to join in an armed
conflict with the mother country. More than three hundred Eastern
Shore men joined the First Battalion of Maryland Loyalists, a
provincial red-coat regiment raised in 1777. Their tale is tragic.
They were ill-used by the British high command and shipped off to
Florida to fight England's enemy, Spain. Many lost their homes and
jobs; some were banished to Nova Scotia. Their thoughts and reasons
for siding with England were brushed aside, their regiment seldom
mentioned, their struggles and hardships forgotten. Using rare and
previously unpublished documents, muster rolls, and letters, the
author examines the words and deeds of these forgotten Marylanders.
M. Christopher New has uncovered a fascinating chapter of American
history.
