Abstract Details

2008, Master of Arts, Miami University, History.
The Reverend Samuel Andrew Peters, deracinated by the American Revolution and forced to live in temporary exile in Great Britain, published both A General History of Connecticut, in 1781, and A History of the Rev. Hugh Peters, in 1807. By examining his two monographs this thesis uncovers the philosophical assumptions and ideological values of Peters and determines how those beliefs shifted over the course of his exile in England. These discoveries offer fresh understandings about how both Samuel Peters, and other similarly exiled and repatriated Loyalists reconstructed and 're-remembered' their experiences concerning loyalty to the monarch, religion, and their family past, as well as their political and social identity.
