Americans disaffected yet loyal subjects claim in 1776 letter
A reader in April 1776 argues that not all Americans oppose government, noting that at least one third of the population remain loyal and well disposed. He describes debt-driven unrest, British merchants seeking removal of creditors, and manipulation by distant factions to fuel anti-government sentiment. He recalls troop needs, New England privileges, and contemporary naval movements, plus various incidents and local notices from London and Cork to Ipswich and Woolwich.
