| Özet: | As thousands of Loyalists sought shelter in British North America after the American Revolution, this article is an attempt to assess the reaction of the mother country to this wave of refugees. Through the study of the colonial correspondence of the British Secretaries of State, it examines the determination of the British government to turn the British North American colonies into loyalist haven. It explores how this process set trends and patterns in British colonial policy that soon consolidated into an anti-republican design aimed at protecting the remaining British colonies of North America from the influence of the United States. |
