'Resisting Independence' maps the loyal British Atlantic's reaction to the American Revolution. Through close study of four important British Atlantic port cities - New York City; Kingston, Jamaica; Halifax, Nova Scotia; and Glasgow, Scotland - the book argues that the revolution helped trigger a new understanding of loyalty to the Crown and empire. The book reimagines loyalism as a shared transatlantic ideology, no less committed to ideas of liberty and freedom than the American cause and not limited to the inhabitants of the 13 American colonies. The book reminds readers that the American Revolution was as much a story of loyalty as it was of rebellion.
