"The Unnatural Rebellion of This Country": The American Revolution, Loyalism, and Enduring Anglo-Atlantic Identities

“The Unnatural Rebellion of This Country: The American Revolution, Loyalism, and Enduring Anglo-Atlantic Identities” argues that the American Revolution did not instantly replace British identity with an American one. Many Loyalists continued to view themselves as members of a broader British Atlantic community and remained attached to British political, cultural, and imperial traditions. The article emphasizes that Loyalism was not merely political opposition to independence but an enduring form of Anglo-Atlantic identity. It therefore challenges narratives that portray the Revolution as a complete break between America and Britain.
