Abstract

Loyalism has a long history in the British Atlantic world, running much deeper than the years comprising the American Revolution. These stories, however, have often been pushed to the margins of our understanding of the era. In North Carolina, categorising colonial residents into the binaries of “rebel” or “loyalist” is problematic. This is further complicated by the introduction of gender as a factor, given the lack of access to and engagement with the public sphere that women experienced. While greater attention is being given to women in the Revolution, southern women’s stories are often marginalised in favour of the “hotbeds” of revolution, like Boston, Philadelphia, or New York. By studying Scottish women loyalists in early North Carolina, Sherman argues, we may come to understand better the influence of gender, ethnicity, and region on the experiences of those in Revolutionary America.
“没有最小的回报”:在革命的北卡罗莱纳的苏格兰忠诚妇女
忠诚主义在英属大西洋地区有着悠久的历史,比美国独立战争时期要久远得多。然而,这些故事往往被推到我们对这个时代的理解的边缘。在北卡罗来纳州,将殖民地居民分为“反叛者”和“忠诚者”是有问题的。鉴于妇女缺乏进入和参与公共领域的机会,将性别作为一个因素引入,使情况进一步复杂化。虽然人们对革命中的女性给予了更多的关注,但南方女性的故事往往被边缘化,而波士顿、费城或纽约等革命的“温床”更受青睐。谢尔曼认为,通过研究北卡罗来纳州早期的苏格兰女性忠诚者,我们可以更好地理解性别、种族和地区对美国革命中那些人经历的影响。
