From Revolution to Reunion: The Reintegration of the South Carolina Loyalists
[...]patriot leaders centralized the punishment and the reintegration of loyalists through the state legislature, which targeted a mere 230 of the most open and obnoxious Crown supporters in its Confiscation Act of 1782. [...]less than half of these loyalists had their estates confiscated and sold to the public, owing in part to their success- ful petitions to the legislature for clemency and officials' unwillingness to \"evict piteously weeping Loyalist women and children from their homes\" (p. 67). [...]escapist fantasies served as \"a bridge to more positive feelings about Loyalists,\" explains Brannon, \"feelings that ultimately enabled Patriots to empathize with and then reintegrate Loyalists\" (p. 39).
Book Review
William Henry Drayton: South Carolina Revolutionary patriot
This dissertation details the life of William Henry Drayton, one of South Carolina's most important and influential Revolutionary leaders. He served the American cause in South Carolina in a variety of roles: as the most effective Whig polemicist in the lower South; as a member of all the state's important revolutionary governing bodies; as commander of a frigate of war; as president of the provincial council; as a chief justice; as a privy councilor; as co-author of the state's 1778 constitution; and as a delegate to the Continental Congress. More importantly, this work improves and revises earlier treatments of Drayton by providing new information and insight regarding his childhood, education, family relations, conversion to the patriot cause, view of the American Revolution, political philosophy and ideas on the establishment of a national government.
