Resisting Revolution: Experiences and Perspectives of Upstate Loyalists

Explore the stories of Loyalist and British-allied civilians in the upper-Hudson and Mohawk Valleys during the American Revolution with a pair of presentations by local historians Anne Clothier and Tom Pettigrew, and an introduction by Johnson Hall State Historic Site Interpretive Programs Assistant Ian Mumpton.

In picturing the Revolution, those who sided with the Crown are often broad brushed as wealthy elites, out of touch with the plight of poor Revolutionaries, but their actual backgrounds and experiences varied widely.
