About this book
Discover the contested loyalties of early North America in The Loyalists of America and Their Times, Vol. 2 of 2 from 1620–1816 by Egerton Ryerson, a vivid and authoritative account of the political and human fallout from revolution and reconciliation attempts. Ryerson traces the complex diplomatic maneuvers—Congress’s alliance with France, British conciliatory offers, and the work of royal commissioners—alongside the harsh penal laws, social pressures, and migrations that defined Loyalist experience. Combining political analysis with narrative history, Volume II situates individual choices within broader themes of loyalty, identity, exile, and nation-building, and highlights the Loyalists’ lasting influence on Canadian institutions and transatlantic relations. Drawing on contemporary sources and careful scholarship, Ryerson presents a measured, engaging portrait of a divided era without sacrificing nuance. Ideal for listeners interested in politics and history, students and scholars of the American Revolution, and anyone curious about the Loyalist perspective, this audiobook offers a compelling, well-researched window into the upheavals that shaped both the United States and British North America.
