Privilege and Prerogative: New York's Provincial Elite, 1710-1776Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1995 - 230 Seiten .

They were also motivated by what they perceived as a threat to their continued domination of New York politics and society. After 1763, they sought to protect their interests. By 1774, they realized their continued allegiance to Britain would be costly. Determined to protect the status quo, many members of the elite joined lower-class radicals to oppose British rule. |
