Description

Three Peoples, One King explores the contributions and conjoined fates of Loyalists, Indians, and slaves who stood with the British Empire within the Deep South colonies throughout the American Revolution. Challenging the traditional view that British efforts to regain regulate of the southern colonies were undermined by a loss of local beef up, Jim Piecuch demonstrates the breadth of loyal assistance provided by these three groups in South Carolina, Georgia, and East and West Florida. Piecuch attributes the ultimate failure of the Crown’s southern campaign to the ruthless program of violent suppression of Loyalist forces carried out by the revolutionaries and to Britain’s inability to capitalize fully at the beef up to be had.
Other studies have assessed the stance of white Loyalist militias and the efforts of revolutionaries to woo them or defeat them, but Piecuch’s is the first to supply a synthetic approach to all three Loyalist populations–white, black, and Native American–within the South throughout this era. He subjects each and every of the groups to intensive investigation, making new discoveries within the histories of escaped or liberated slaves and of still-powerful Indian tribes, and within the bitter legacies of white loyalism. Aided by thirty-four illustrations and maps, Piecuch’s pathbreaking study will appeal to scholars and students of American history in addition to Revolutionary War enthusiasts.
