Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The American Revolution changed Thomas Brown’s life. He had arrived in the colonies in 1775 to start a plantation, and within nine months, he had built a fine house and acquired land. But when the revolution began, he chose to side with the British.

#2 After the attack, Brown was taken to Augusta, where the patriots forced him to sign the association. He then rallied hundreds of backcountry residents to form a loyalist militia, the King’s Rangers, and fight back.

#3 The American Revolution was a war of ideals for many, but for others it was a test of their loyalty to their country and the British Empire. Many loyalists wanted to preserve the status quo, while others wanted to reform the imperial relationship.

#4 The American colonies were initially opposed to the British Parliament’s actions, which they saw as an abuse of imperial power. But the protests quickly turned violent, and many future loyalists were suspected of wanting to enhance royal and aristocratic power.
