Exploring the dynamics of loyalty among non-Spaniards under Spanish rule, this study delves into the complex interplay of social, cultural, economic, and political factors in the southern frontier. Andrew McMichael examines the colonial Spanish administration's approach to resident Americans and how systems of land distribution and government patronage fostered allegiance. Focusing on the Baton Rouge district from 1785 to 1810, the work analyzes the reasons behind the eventual rebellion of Anglo-Americans in 1810, despite their prior loyalty to the Spanish Crown.
