The colonists' Republican tradition helped them spark the Revolution, but their special history also threatened the unity of the United States throughout the Revolutionary War, for Loyalists tried to discredit New Englanders as a naturally rebellious people. Yet Ingersoll shows that the rebels never sought to drive the dissenters out of the new nation, and accorded them a remarkable degree of liberal toleration, with the great majority of Loyalists ultimately becoming citizens of the new states. 606 $aAmerican loyalists$zNew England 607 $aNew England$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783 615 0$aAmerican loyalists 676 $a973.314 700 $aIngersoll$b Thomas N.$0996704 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136597403321 996 $aThe Loyalist problem in revolutionary New England$92581462 997 $aUNINA
