Abstract

Abstract:The American Revolutionary War brought tremendous pain and suffering to Loyalists in New York's Hudson River Valley. They endured violence, persecution, and dislocation. When the war ended, thousands of Loyalists chose to leave their homes for a new life in British North America (Canada). As a civil war, the Revolution attempted to dissolve existing community bonds. But the Hudson Valley Loyalists show that many relationships endured despite the conflict, and that instead these social webs remained central to how they found their way in the postwar British Empire. They settled near one another in exile, assisted each other when applying for postwar compensation, shared similar political philosophies in provincial politics, maintained contact with family in New York, and even intermarried. Individual relationships and community were central to how the Hudson Valley Loyalists rebuilt their lives after a violent civil war. In exile, they created a social web consisting of Loyalists, their children, American citizens, and Late Loyalists, that bound them for several generations.

英属北美哈德逊河谷的忠诚者:联系、社区和连续性
摘要:美国独立战争给纽约哈德逊河流域的保皇派带来了巨大的痛苦和苦难。他们忍受了暴力、迫害和流离失所。战争结束后,成千上万的保皇派选择离开家园,前往英属北美(加拿大)开始新生活。作为一场内战,革命试图解散现有的社区纽带。但哈德逊河谷的忠诚者表明,尽管有冲突,但许多关系仍然存在,相反,这些社交网络仍然是他们在战后大英帝国找到出路的核心。他们在流亡时住得很近,在申请战后赔偿时互相帮助,在地方政治上有相似的政治理念,与纽约的家人保持联系,甚至通婚。个人关系和社区是哈德逊河谷忠诚者在暴力内战后重建生活的核心。在流亡期间,他们创建了一个由忠诚者、他们的孩子、美国公民和晚期忠诚者组成的社交网络,将他们联系了几代人。
