University of Pennsylvania Press

An exploration of the British occupation of Philadelphia that highlights the perspectives of those wearied by and withdrawn from the War for Independence\nElizabeth and Henry Drinker of Philadelphia were no friends of the American Revolution. Yet neither were they its enemies. The Drinkers were a merchant family who, being Quakers and pacifists, shunned commitments to both the Revolutionaries and the British. They strove to endure the war uninvolved and unscathed. They failed. In 1777, the war came to Philadelphia when the city was taken and occupied by the British army.\nAaron Sullivan explores the British occupation of Philadelphia, chronicling the experiences of a group of people who were pursued, pressured, and at times persecuted, not because they chose the wrong side of the Revolution\n\nThe Disaffected\nBritain's Occupation of Philadelphia During the American Revolution\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail t;
