America 250 / Villains and Apostates: British Loyalists in Schenectady

The American Revolution forced everyone to pick a side. Not everyone flocked to the cause of independence. Many people in the colonies, and many people in Schenectady remained loyal to the crown and were willing to fight alongside British troops.

In this presentation by Schenectady County Historical Society, we'll discuss the motivations and interests of local loyalists. We'll explore the often grim fates of those who refused to join the Revolution.
