  • Social Life in Philadelphia During the British Occupation
    SOCIAL LIFE IN PHILADELPHIA DURING THE BRITISH OCCUPATION By DARLENE EMMERT FISHER* First came the light horse, led along by Enoch Story and Phineas Bond, as the soldiers were unacquainted with the town and the different streets, nearly two hundred I imagine, clean dress and their bright swords glittering in the sun. After that came the foot, 'headed by Lord Cornwallis. Before him went a band of music, which played a solemn tune, and which I afterwards under- stood was called "God Save great George Our King," Then followed the soldiers, who looked very clean and healthy and a remarkable solidity was on their counte- nance, no wanton levity, or indecent mirth, but a gravity well becoming the occasion seemed on all their faces. After that came the artillery and then the Hessian gren- adiers, attended by a large band of music but not equal in fineness or solemnity to the other. Baggage wagons, Hessian women and horses, cows, goats and asses brought up the rear.' T HUS, Sarah Logan Fischer recorded, the British arrived in TPhiladelphia, September 26, 1777. No opposition was offered, and Jacob Coats remembered the soldiers were especially friendly to him, a boy of ten. They said "How do you do," made other friendly overtures, and shook hands.2 The 15,000 citizens of Philadelphia received the British with mixed emotions.3 While most active Whigs had fled the city, the Tories welcomed the British with open arms and the Quakers and any others who preferred to remain neutral were quietly apprehensive. The author lives in Evanston, Illinois, and formerly taught at New Trier High School.

  • Loyalist Jews During the American Revolution
    LOYALIST JEWS DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION The Loyalist Diaspora The month of May in the Province of Ontario, Canada, is Jewish Heritage Month and to celebrate this let’s look back in history and examine the lives of a few Loyalist Jews, who, I believe during the American Revolution remained loyal to the Crown and eventually moved to Canada. But first, let’s begin by examining the American Revolution and the plight of the United Empire Loyalists (UEL). In reality, the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a vicious civil war pitting Rebels against Loyalists. At the beginning of the conflict people living in the colonies were divided in sentiment; some scholars argued that one-third were for independence as a republic, one-third were against independence as a republic and were loyal to the King, and the remaining one-third were neutral. By the end of the American Revolutionary War, approximately 100,000 Loyalists were forced to leave the new United States and scatter throughout the British Empire. This ‘Loyalist Diaspora’ resulted in about 90,000 coming to what is now Canada. Even before the war started, Loyalists were being severely persecuted. For example, in Connecticut, draconian ‘Committees of Observation’ were established in communities to weed-out and enforce laws against anyone who was not a ‘Patriot’. Sadly, these committees were no better than government- sanctioned mobs. Loyalists were beaten and robbed, “tarred and feathered”, hanged, and at a minimum run out of town. Profiteers grabbed their homes, farms and anything else they could get their hands on. Connecticut passed laws to ferret out and punish Loyalists.

  • PHILADELPHIA WOMEN and the PUBLIC SPHERE, 1760S-1840S
    “THE YOUNG WOMEN HERE ENJOY A LIBERTY”: PHILADELPHIA WOMEN AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE, 1760s-1840s By KATHARINE DIANE LEE A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in History Written under the direction of Nancy Hewitt and Paul G. E. Clemens And approved by _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ _______________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “The Young women here enjoy a liberty”: Philadelphia Women and the Public Sphere, 1760s-1840s by KATHARINE DIANE LEE Dissertation Director: Nancy Hewitt This dissertation examines women’s access to and participation in the community life of Philadelphia in the decades surrounding the American Revolution. It argues against the application of separate spheres to late-colonial and early national Philadelphia and proposes that women were heavily integrated into nearly all aspects of the city’s public life. Women from diverse backgrounds were actively involved in commerce, politics, protest, intellectual and legal debates, social institutions, wartime developments, educational advancements, and benevolent causes. They saw themselves and were viewed by their peers as valuable members of a vibrant and complex city life. If we put aside assumptions about women’s limited relationship to the public sphere, we find a society in which women took advantage of a multitude of opportunities for participation and self-expression. This project also examines the disparity between the image of the ideal housewife and the lived experience of the majority of female Philadelphians. Idealized descriptions of Revolutionary women present a far more sheltered range of options than those taken advantage of by most actual women.

    Benedict ^Arnold and the Owners of the Charming ?A(ancy HEN the indictment against Benedict Arnold is drawn, the attempt to betray West Point and possibly General Wash- ington to the British assumes the greatest significance W 1 among Arnold's questionable activities. Of secondary importance to this act of treason is a long list of dubious actions committed while he was military governor of Philadelphia from its evacuation by the British in June, 1778, to his voluntary retirement from that post in March, 1779.2 During much of the time he was in Philadelphia, Arnold was under the hot fire of the extreme Whigs both inside the city and in the eastern part of Pennsylvania. His activities, too well known to be repeated here, constituted the basis for the six charges brought against him by the state authorities, and they eventually culminated in his demand for the court-martial that was held in Morristown, New Jersey, in January, 1780. Although the court handed down an acquittal, or the equivalent of the Scotch "not proved," on most of the charges, it also required that Washington verbally reprimand Arnold for conduct unbecoming one of his high rank and respon- 1 The most adequate biography of Benedict Arnold is still Isaac N. Arnold, The Life of Benedict Arnold: His Patriotism and His Treason (Chicago, 1880). More recent works on the same subject are James T.

By focusing on the men of trading firms operating in Philadelphia, the borderlands and the wider world, it becomes abundantly clear that their identities were shaped and sustained by their commercial concerns—not by any new political ideology at work in this period.

AN INDELICATE BALANCE; ECONOMIC FACTORS IN THE MILITARY CAREER OF BENEDICT ARNOLD BY ROBERT A. SCAPPINI A THESIS IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN HISTORY UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 1995 ABSTRACT This thesis will examine Benedict Arnold's life assessing the mercenary nature of his military career in the larger context of financial gain under the guise of military opera­ tions. Arnold's actions as a Continental officer and as a British general became overshadowed by his act of treason, and as such, there has been no serious examination of his personal and business affai rs from 1779 to 1801. Throughout the war Arnold was the object of several Con­ gressional and military investigations for financial misman- agernent and abuse of power. The accusations against Arnold would become secondar y , as the priorities of the war super­ ceded the need for justice.
