Tories, Spies, and Traitors: Divided Loyalty in Revolutionary Connecticut Wednesday, June 24th from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. “Which side are you on?” That was the question facing every resident of Connecticut in 1775 as the thirteen colonies moved toward open rebellion against British rule. Loyalty was not merely a matter of opinion. For soldiers and civilians alike, choosing a side could mean the loss of property, community standing, friendships, and even one’s life. This presentation explores the deeply divided loyalties that shaped Connecticut during the Revolutionary era, sharing both famous and lesser-known stories of Nutmeggers who risked everything to support the cause they believed in during this “tumultuous jarring time of civil war.” Register here.
