Superb lecture Proffesor Jasanoff. You have taken the fragmented and complex loyalists experience through the revolutionary period in a manner that enables the listeners to engage in this fascinating story that somehhow all 'fits together' - at the end of your lecture. Most fascinating - thank you.

He was my history professor in college, his lectures were always interesting and entertaining! Great guy!!!

Thanks from Wisconsin, hey🧀

The Frank Grimes of American history

I enjoyed this much, especially enriching my own encounters with accounts by German soldiers in America describing Blacks, both enslaved & free. One source, of a German soldier, captured at Saratoga and taken to Massachusetts, noted with horror the treatment of slaves on Long Island and in the Hudson Valley. Entering western Massachusetts, he described small numbers of Blacks, some in family groups, free and in service or bondage. Also memtio0ned was that every American military regiment he encountered contained Black soldiers.

Couldn't get through this - speaker too verbose. More matter, less art.

My History Symposium class paper at University was titled: "American Society as Seen by the German Auxiliaries of the British Army in North America: 1775-1783". The majority of our sources had to be primary sources, or contemporaneous secondary sources. I especially enjoyed reading the diary of Johann Ewald, Captain of Jägers. I keep in mind, to this day, a quote of his (of Boileau): "Honor is like an island, Steep and without shore: They who once leave, Can never return."

Please know how to pronounce 'Quebec'...

When you live in NE Ohio, you can't ignore Canada.

Thank you from California.

.Whoa.I'm so used to the Loyalists being forgotten or demonized by American media that it disturbs me in a way to hear this...opens it up emotionally to hear a balanced analysis by an American..a good thing though I guess.Loyalist descendant[Palatine German,the Dutch of New Amsterdam].......Emigrated to Ontario.

I love the passion transmited in this quite peculiar but very important part of history.

Mr. Herrera reminds me of my Political science professor from Princeton University. His attitude and his word choice reminds me of someone in the Navy, like my professor. This lecture was very informative thank you for posting.

Surprised they let them leave after being participants in so many war crimes against patriot civilians and helping really horrible Indian raids.

God bless Boston and America.

The last quote is vertiginous of new perspectives : America's founding fathers were not like British Anarchy makers in India, but the opposite !

Your comments about Jan. 6th makes me doubt what your book will be like. You really haven't done your research into Jan. 6th.

So you're saying there wouldn't have been an American revolution without the bank of England pressing the Brits with debt...

Probably a great information piece…. I cannot take the gasps of air.

They're now called Democrats.

I knew about the Pennamite-Yankee Wars but had no idea that Pennsylvania was fighting Virginia at the same time

In Canada, we call this the 1st American Civil War. But, Loyalists cannot be picky.

Interesting to note that Fabrique National established 1889 in Herstal Belguim. Herstal became part of Bishophric of Liege in 1740. FN currently owns Winchester and Browning.

HAHAHh I ADORE the Germans when they speak English Learning German right now so beautiful language and such a beautiful culture Good luck

Not all Germans were Hessians and none were mercenaries.

The link to the full lecture in the description is no longer valid and forwards to a completely different site. Can you please post an updated link? Thank you!

I am a direct descendant of a Loyalist. Loyalist were people with strong conviction and loyalty. Please do not refer to them as what? Instead of What is a Loyalist. You should write who is a Loyalist.

God Save the King and bless the oldstock colonials who proved thei genuine 'Patrioism' by remaing loyal to the mother country. My ancestors were among those whose British-American genes ended up in Canada

as far as the questions Paul didn't answer, the ship's speed was likely up to about 13 knots and the class had a displacement of 880 tons BM.

Great content as always! I would add a few notes on this ship class. The Roebuck class were more of a hybrid ship and not a true frigate. In the American theater, they, along with Portland class, served as flagships due to their relatively shallow drafts. The French took a member of this class (HMS Romulus) and actually used her in the line of battle against English ships of the line at the Battle of Cape Henry. Another fun fact: The ship taken by John Paul Jones at the battle of Flamborough Head was another member of this class (HMS Serapis).

Julia Osman will make a pretty good pornstar.

This guy is full of it!

Tremendously informative and enjoyable. I learned many things I didn't know about Valley Forge

My ancestor Issac Man/Mann Sr bought 3,000 acres in upstate NY after the end of the F&I warsin which family fought and died. Settled 'Still Water' NY province with tenants including the purified 'Yellow Church' recently from Salem. He was Col of militia and his four sons (youngest 13) members. Bankrupted by a land scam and unsupportable costs of creating a channel for a water mill he was forced to sell much to the Yellow Church - all very active controlling members of the committe for Public Safety and correspondence later on. When troubles broke out he was a passing new celebrity claiming the right o f free speach on defences of the crown. Quickly suppressed he and his 13 yr old son were confined to prison hulks. Released after 3 years, he left for Canada with wife, dependant servants for Canada. Meanwhile his for loyal sons had adventures of their own. Active, all ultimately escaped to Canada after arrest or pow extange. All sons involved in the defeat at Saratoga. 3 got away but one, a scout (favourite ancestor for full excellent drama in life), exchanged for a rebel lt the day before his schedueled execution. After Saratoga, all joined loyalist regiments in Canada that constantly raided upstate NY with constant success. That's why American history avoids all mention of it. Betrayed by London Wigs, the war was lost. The Man/Mann family was compensated at 10% of proven loses. Rare types they settled the north dhore of Baie de Chaleur in Gaspe and prospered with one a Judge in Quebec city. My favourte ancestor (due to love life adventure not to mention his reports as a scout penetrator behind revolting Yankee lines) was the first Sheriff of Gaspe Bay, with a sloop at his command (no info available due to personal , ignorance). All I know is that his only child, a daughter died before him in 1803. In 1816 (the year without a summer) his sister in law applied for exyra rations for her life-long servanqt and the servants three young grandchildren. All were old family by then. MAY GOD SAVE THE KINGLY UNIFIGHING ONLY THING AMONG ANGLOS

May God Save the King, Confound his revolting enemies, Protect him from his friends and spare him the lies of the 'American Simplified Creation Myth', in which my ancestors and many loyals like them, arrived in the colonies no later than 1652. The 'Woke' mob of the 1776 day removed them. 60,000 during the 1st actual 'American Civil War' and a total of 170,000 left new America by 1800. They went on to freehold farms in Canada and prospered while their 'Still Water', former NY province revolting 'Committes of Safely' (early Commie types) neighbours remained 'tenant farmers' for another 3 generations ? Who was actually right and who actually won in the end is a fascinating question.

I don't understand how something as simple, and straightforward as the 2a is can be interpreted any other way than how it is written unless it is being done deliberately , or to confuse the people.

The Revolution was the only friends and family fought war. Militia towns citizens intermarried for over 140 years so basically your extended family and best friends went to battle. The first killed was Asa Pollard of Billerica, Ma. My patriot ancestor Ebenezer French Jr was the Billerica, Ma patriot drummer at Bunker Hill (rail fence).

This was the event that signaled that the colonists no longer regarded themselves as British subjects but as Americans

The reason why the Boston rebels dressed as "Native Americans" when tossing the tea overboard into Boston harbor was to show in a defiance to the British that they regarded themselves as Americans and not British subjects no longer.

This is an outstanding treatment of an important topic. I am gratified to have heard fine, critical scholarship that sheds light on a topic of great interest to my research.

I feel like I’ve discovered a buried treasure with finding this channel. 🤓🇺🇸 In all my searches for American history/American Revolution on the CZcams’s over the past decade, I’ve only recently discovered this channel (and a few others.) With the coming of America’s 250th, I think it would be awesome if someone created trading cards that featured historically significant people of the American War for Independence… designed in the tradition of Topps Baseball cards.

A fine video by Old Brook. Interesting that the New Englanders fight the Crown and then move to England and even intermarry with the English.

Thank you.

is it true that the order was given to shoot the officers first......ofthe 266 british killed 100 were office majorr pitcaiirn who gave the orders at lexington not to fire unless fired upon was killed at bunkers hill by peter salem.

1nd!

As one nurse from any another thank you for highlighting their service during the rev war! Am the straight line descendent from 22 patriots and soldiers-one Eleanor Triplett is a recognized patriot in the DAR.

I learned a lot thank you!!

Big thanks for this. It's interesting why the story of the Carolina Regulation never persisted into the standard account of the lead up to the American Revolution. I have ideas about that, but I won't inflict them on anybody here. lol One of my 5th gr grandfathers was involved in the Regulation. He was Herman Husband. The last Husband in my family was a gr grandmother.
