The Brethren

A Story of Faith and Conspiracy in Revolutionary America

Beschreibung

In 1777, North Carolina farmers planned a coup against local patriots. Brendan McConville shows they were motivated not by Crown loyalty but by love of individual and religious liberty-as they understood them. Complicating revolutionary narratives, the plotters feared American independence would usher in the very tyranny it claimed to contest.
