Antiquity and Loyalist Dissent in Revolutionary America, 1765–1776
Daniel R. Moy
The book explores how the loyalist rebuttal to the American patriot movement derived much of its inspiration and rationale from the ancient literature of the Greco-Roman world—the same repository of classical ideas and principles the patriots coopted to persuade their fellow countrymen to disavow the English crown and pursue independence.
