Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on New Castle's pivotal role during the American Revolution, the book explores its status as Delaware's Colonial capital and a hub of rebellion. The village green became a gathering place for colonists voicing their dissent against British rule, despite the presence of a significant Loyalist community. The narrative details the city's occupation by British forces in 1777 and the influx of Loyalist refugees, as well as the challenges faced by Delaware in establishing its government post-war. Historian Ted Corbett provides a comprehensive account of this unique historical landscape.
