Oh That I Was a Soldier
NO POPULAR PERCEPTION OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION HAS BEEN SO PERVASIVE as the imagery of the Spirit of '76. It evokes the notion of noble sacrifice, of virtuous ordinary citizens abandoning their daily pursuits in order to seize their weapons and fight a despotic foe.

The Loyalist Mind
A leading political figure in Pennsylvania, Joseph Galloway after 1776 was branded a traitor and a cringing, bowing sycophantic Tory.

In this respect, Dr. Ferling contends, he was a typical Loyalist, generally more principled than self-serving. In 1774, Galloway's Plan of Union lost in Congress by one vote-a loss that changed course of history, s…
