By looking through the analytical lens of honor culture, \u003ci\u003eDishonored Americans\u003c\/i\u003e offers an innovative assessment of the experience of Americans who made the fateful decision to remain loyal to the British Crown during and after the Revolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLoyalists, as Timothy Compeau explains, suffered a \"political death\" at the hands of American Patriots. A term drawn from eighteenth-century sources, 'political death' encompassed the legal punishments and ritualized dishonors Patriots used to defeat Loyalist public figures and discredit their counter-revolutionary vision for America. By highlighting this dynamic, Compeau makes a significant intervention in the long-standing debate over the social and cultural factors that motivated colonial Americans to choose sides in the conflict, narrating in compelling detail the severe consequences for once-respected gentlemen who were stripped of their rights, privileges, and power in Revolutionary America.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimothy Compeau is Assistant Professor of History at Huron University College at the University of Western Ontario.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 270\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.75 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 29, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53059582361933,"sku":"9780813950457","price":187.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/vfs2foH8ia9780813950457.webp?v=1766534130","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/dishonored-americans-the-political-death-of-loyalists-in-revolutionary-america-hardcover","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
