New Jersey Loyalists & the British Army, 1775-1783
Join New Jersey author and research Todd Braisted at Macculloch Hall Historical Museum to explore the loyalist experience in New Jersey. New Jersey during the American Revolution resembled a civil war as bad or worse than what was to come four score and seven years later. It was brother against brother, father against son, husband against wife. And nowhere in the state was it more prevalent than in the north: Bergen County. Several thousand New Jersey Loyalists, those residents who actively supported the continuance of royal rule in America, actually took up arms to crush what they termed an “unnatural rebellion.” Join us as we examine the different roles and activities performed by these New Jerseyians throughout the colonies and what became of them at war’s end.
