Not all New Yorkers were fully supportive of the Patriots during the Revolutionary War. Dr. O’Keefe’s talk will explore Loyalists in the Hudson Valley during the Revolutionary War. It will examine why some colonists remained loyal to the British, what the war was like for Loyalists in the region, and what happened to Loyalists after the conflict.

Thank you. Most informative. My Dutch and Palantinate German Loyalist ancestors came from around Poughkeepsie. One of them was put in jail by the rebels for his loyalist sympathies. Later, they all fled to Canada and joined Butler’s Rangers.

Will you mention the 1776 Declaration of Dependence. I only just found out about its existence. Good topic. Good talk.
