A Paper by Ruma Chopra
San Jose State University
Ruma.chopra@sjsu.edu
The 1783 Treaty of Paris produced a permanent cleavage on the North American continent. It cut off the older portion of the British colonial empire and at the same time preserved the northern half, consisting of the provinces of Quebec and Nova Scotia. To form a barrier against those of anti-British principle to the south, the British government subsidized the settlement of thousands of loyalists to these northern provinces. Determined to be integral "parts and not dependencies of the empire," the loyalists returned to the pressing question of the revolution: What was required to maintain a long-lasting union between the colonies and the empire?
Copies of the paper are available for reading at the Institute, Swem Library's Reference and Circulation Desks, the Lyon G. Tyler Department of History, and the American Studies Program, all at the College of William and Mary; Colonial Williamsburg's John D. Rockefeller, Jr., Library; the University of Richmond's Department of History, the Virginia Commonwealth University's Department of History, the Library of Virginia, and the Virginia Historical Society, all in Richmond; Virginia State University's Department of History in Petersburg; Old Dominion University's Department of History in Norfolk; and the University of Virginia's Corcoran Department of History in Charlottesville. If you would like to receive the paper by email, please send [[mlsmit, Melody Smith]] your email address.
Please park in the lots closest to Swem Library.
All colloquia will be followed by a social hour, with desserts and drinks.
The Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture is sponsored jointly by The College of William and Mary and The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
