2 colonists had similar identities – but one felt compelled to remain loyal, the other to rebel

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, January 4, 2024

They knew each other, were both supporters of libraries with successful legal careers, and were politically active.

Key Points: 
  • They knew each other, were both supporters of libraries with successful legal careers, and were politically active.
  • Both men claimed that they felt truly British – but from their shared identity they arrived at violently opposing conclusions.

Parallel paths

  • The stories of Martin Howard and Stephen Hopkins begin as mirror images of each other, including growing up in Rhode Island.
  • He served as Overseer of the Poor, Smallpox Inspector, and in the Rhode Island General Assembly.
  • In the early 1760s, their paths might have seemed closely aligned.
  • Howard’s and Hopkins’ reactions to these laws marked a key phase of division between them, and across colonial North America.

Dueling pamphlets

  • Hopkins supported the loose coalition of organizations collectively known as the Sons of Liberty who campaigned against imperial taxation.
  • A close read of the pamphlets published by Howard and Hopkins in the mid-1760s shows they both invoke their common Anglo-American heritage – but only one would eventually come to the conclusion that it was necessary to sever that link.
  • To him, that included the right to have a voice in Parliamentary deliberations about colonial taxation, because he lived in Britain’s North American colonies.
  • But in Howard’s view, this did not include a right to vote in Parliamentary elections: Not all British people could vote, even if they lived in Britain.

A split based on shared identity and values

  • It was a revolution, but those who sought to break from Britain did so as a way of preserving their British identity.
  • This seeming contradiction helps illustrate why groups of people who shared Anglo-American identity and heritage fought on both sides of a violent war to preserve their divergent views of that identity and heritage.
