Summary
'The Trials of Allegiance' examines the law of treason during the American Revolution - a convulsive, violent civil war in which nearly everyone could be considered a traitor, either to Great Britain or to America. Drawing from extensive archival research in Pennsylvania - one of the main centres of the revolution - Carlton Larson provides the most comprehensive analysis yet of the treason prosecutions brought by Americans against British adherents - through committees of safety, military tribunals, and ordinary criminal trials.
