  • The Church Militant: the American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92
    The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2016 © 2016 Peter Walker All rights reserved ABSTRACT The Church Militant: The American Loyalist Clergy and the Making of the British Counterrevolution, 1701-92 Peter W. Walker This dissertation is a study of the loyalist Church of England clergy in the American Revolution. By reconstructing the experience and identity of this largely-misunderstood group, it sheds light on the relationship between church and empire, the role of religious pluralism and toleration in the American Revolution, the dynamics of loyalist politics, and the religious impact of the American Revolution on Britain. It is based primarily on the loyalist clergy’s own correspondence and writings, the records of the American Loyalist Claims Commission, and the archives of the SPG (the Church of England’s missionary arm). The study focuses on the New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies, where Anglicans formed a religious minority and where their clergy were overwhelmingly loyalist. It begins with the founding of the SPG in 1701 and its first forays into America. It then examines the state of religious pluralism and toleration in New England, the polarising contest over the proposed creation of an American bishop after the Seven Years’ War, and the role of the loyalist clergy in the Revolutionary War itself, focusing particularly on conflicts occasioned by the Anglican liturgy and Book of Common Prayer.

  • Peter Oliver, Origin and Progress of the American Rebellion, 1781; Appendix Based on Events Compiled in the Boston Weekly News-Letter, 23 Feb
    MAKING THE REVOLUTION: AMERICA, 1763-1791 PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION “the sufferings of all from mobs, rioters and trespassers” Mob Attacks on Loyalists in Massachusetts * Aug. 1774 – Feb. 1775 Peter Oliver, Origin and Progress of the American Rebellion, 1781; appendix based on events compiled in The Boston Weekly News-Letter, 23 Feb. 1775 From the beginning of the revolutionary period in the 1760s, British supporters (Tories and later called Loyalists) were harassed, intimi- dated, and often attacked by Patriot mobs. As war approached in the 1770s, the victims of Patriot wrath expanded to include lukewarm supporters and the vocally undecided, and the threats and injuries they received escalated in severity. One victim was the Loyalist judge Peter Oliver, who was forced from his judgeship and left America for Britain in 1776. In 1781 he wrote an angry history of the prewar period entitled Origin and Progress of the American Rebellion, in which he printed, almost verbatim, a list of violent acts upon Loyalists perpetrated over a six-month period (Aug. 1774 through Feb. 1775), which had been printed in a 1775 Boston newspaper. What kinds of intimidation and injury were inflicted on Loyalists? What did the attackers hope to accomplish? How The Bostonians Paying the Excise-Man, or does Oliver judge the Patriot perpetrators?

The most important of his other papers in our possession is a very large volume, much of it closely written, contain- ing his correspondence, with miscellaneous matter.

  • Peter Oliver, Letter to the Massachusetts Gazette, January 1776
    MAKING THE REVOLUTION: AMERICA, 1763-1791 PRIMARY SOURCE COLLECTION Harvard University PETER OLIVER An ADDRESS to the Soldiers of Massachusetts Bay who are now in Arms against the Laws of their Country The Massachusetts Gazette & Boston Weekly News-Letter 11 January 1776__Selections* A Boston-born Loyalist and Supreme Court judge in Massachusetts, Peter Oliver condemned the American rebellion as illegal, unfounded, and utterly self- destructive. For his staunch defense of British imperial authority, Oliver was harassed by Sons of Liberty and forced from his judgeship in 1774. In January 1776, he published this address urging Continental soldiers to stop, think, and abandon the Patriot cause. Two months later, he left Boston with the British as they Peter Oliver, Boston Loyalist evacuated the town, and he eventually settled in England. In 1781 he published an irate account of the pre-revolutionary period titled Origin and Progress of the American Rebellion. In this address, Oliver responds to a statement issued about two months earlier by the officers of the Continental Army to its soldiers, urging them to remain in the downsized army and stand resolute despite hardship. What is Oliver’s goal in refuting the officers’ plea? How does he work to turn the soldiers against their officers? How does he intensify the impact of his address? MY FELLOW CITIZENS! ou have been addressed by the general officers of the continental army as fellow soldiers, and with Y that insinuating art which was designed to move your passions. I would not draw your attention from it, provided you will devote your cooler moments to a dispassionate consideration of its subject matter.

  • A Case of Identity: Massachusettensis and John Adams
    This is the author's final manuscript version of an article accepted for publication in New England Quarterly by MIT Press. The original publication will be available at: https://doi.org/10.1162/tneq_a_00707 1 NEQ:December 2018 Memoranda and Documents Running Head: Massachusettensis A Case of Identity: Massachusettensis and John Adams COLIN NICOLSON, OWEN DUDLEY EDWARDS, JAMIE MACPHERSON, AND KRISTEN NICOLSON Few Revolutionary-era Americans knew the identity of the author of Massachusettensis, perhaps the most articulate and widely read loyalist essays.1 John Adams (1735-1826) alone seemed convinced, commencing his patriot masterpiece Novanglus in reply believing his adversary to be his close friend of fifteen years, Jonathan Sewall (1729–96). Adams imagined the friendly rivalry to be emblematic of the imperial crisis. Published pseudonymously in weekly instalments, “Massachusettensis” rationalized American subordination to British imperial sovereignty, equating patriot resistance with rebellion, while “Novanglus” advanced colonial autonomy within the empire, both intent on preventing escalation before literary combat gave way to hostilities in April 1775.2 A brief enquiry in 1851 pronounced Adams “entirely mistaken” 1 We are grateful to Liam Riordan and anonymous reviewers for astute comments on drafts of this paper. 2 Roman type denotes the pseudonym; italics, the published letters. “Massachusettensis” [usu. attr.

  • The Object of History: 18Th-Century Treasures from the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society
    The Object of History: 18th-Century Treasures from the Collections of the Massachusetts Historical Society Exhibition Checklist The exhibition takes its arrangement from a letter that John Adams wrote to Abigail from France in May 1780: I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study Mathematicks and Philosophy, Geography, natural History, Naval Architecture, navigation, Commerce and Agriculture, in order to give their Children a right to study Painting Poetry Musick, Architecture, Statuary, Tapestry and Porcelaine. This letter is on display on the second-floor stairwell landing in the Society’s Presidential Gallery as part of an exhibition of letters that John and Abigail Adams exchanged about the education of their children—and more generally about education. The Object of History begins in the Hamilton Room, the round receiving room to the left at the top of the stairs. There, “Politics and War” tells the political and military history of 18th-century America through paint- ings, artifacts, and a map.
