Essay two outline

Emily Furgason OUTLINE FOR NEWWWW JERSEY
POSSIBLE POINTS: (thoughts) WHY THEY WERE LOYALISTS;

Useful facts along the way?:
-From The American Loyalists: "one third of the american popultion was loyal" page 2 of my citation
-261 of the american loyalists: " Men joinging the royal cause in the spring of 1782 in the Carolinas probably did so from motives far different from those of loyalists fleeing inside the British lines in New York and New Jersey in the autumn of 1776"
-William Frankline of New Jersey 363: " he New Jersey legislature was inclied to accommodate its young American Governor , and there were no difficult, unpopulat British ruling with which to contend. All that began to chagne in 1765, when William Franklin kept that assemblly obedient to the mother country in the Stamp Act controversy, yet realized that he dislikes the measure as mush as did his people, though on different grounds... he, if not his wife, was fiding it difficult to take Strahan's advice in "looking upon England as our home"

ISSUES THAT WERE TIED WITH THE CROWN TAKING OVER:(363 same doc. as last)
"salaries of crown officials, provision for the militia, control of the Indians and guarding of the frontier, problems of the provincial courts, provincial councils, provincial agesnt, that ever-present question of the currency-- all of these were tied to the conflicting interest of the colonial assemblies, the crown and parliament. To certian degree William Franklin is representative of all the royal governors, and New jersey struggled with difficulties troubling all the royal colonies"




1.The strongholds of the British within virgin and New York their trading neighbor .( page 560 2nd paragraph) (more than likely turn into two paragraphs)
I.The money and prosperity that came along with the British alliance
A. British gold rather then American currency was preferred. (more facts on trade and statistics on the income that came with the brits trade and such But this is said on 560 as well)
II. The British power throughout the area, made it easier and to some extent safer to be on the power that be side.
A. “British domination of the trade outlets in the southern part of bergen County by strongholds at Paulus Hook and Staten Island provided pratical easons for supporting the royal cause”
III. Strong ties with New York trade with was being affected due to the disagreement.(page 560 of Notes and documents , Loyalism in Bregen County, New jersey)
A.“The main market for Bergen famr produce as New Yrok City and trade between New Jersey towns and with New York City was carried on Primarily by river boat” ( 560 1st para.)
i.THAT means that Britain’s take over of the ports could of easily and probably did affect new jersey to a great negative amount.


2There was personal gain in keeping things the way they were with the British or in helping/supporting them.(maybe turn into two paragraphs)
I Families who were already wealthy who were fine with the way things were/believed in England.
A -The Bayard family, mainly the father Stephen
-Hendrick doremus
-Dr. Abraham L. Van Buskirk
-The (JOHN) Zabriskie(s)
-James moody
i “… flee to the shelters of the british lines. Only from there could he fight to maintain legitimate government, the only kind of government that in his eyes could defend freedom in his country(The early years page one) PAGE 3 “ not for the government but for the right and freedom is represents”
a Not a surprising thought when the other freedom riders are tearing down homes , killing families and torching peoples property.
i ".. that the rebels sought the Whig ends of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness; that the rebels desire for those ends stemmed from their participation in the empire-wide enlightenment;that those ideals sparked revolt because of the colonists homogeneity and distacne from london " (From Economic Burden:Sprak to the Ameican Revolution? pg 82 )

RECOGNIZE that also there was much to loose by fighting to the british as well, that veiw is supported by the believe the britian had the right, they mothered them helped them and also they were the only way for tru freedom

II People who gained(personal) from just supporting them.
A trading with them as the came through, securing safety by being on their side.
i Slaves and how they were granted freedom by serving or fighting for the British
a. "The loyalty of officeholders and wealthy person closely allied to the machinery of government involved decisions fundamental dissimilar to those made by tenants, indentured servants, poor mechanics, and artisans who were induced by cash bounties to join loyalists regiments" ((pg 261 of the American Loyalists: notes on their orginaization and Numerical strength)

3( MAYBE might have enough already) THE POWER OF GREAT BRITAIN IN GENERAL/ positives of the past.

A obvious facts that shouldn’t be hard to find
