http://raglinen.com/book -- Historian John Reda describes the realities of tar and feathering during the American Revolution. The Revolution forced Americans to choose between king and country, creating divisions at every level of society and turning the struggle, in some areas, into a civil war. Reda explains one of the cruelties inflicted on American Loyalists by the Whigs. • John Reda is one of 37 contributors to Reporting the Revolutionary War: Before It Was History, It Was News (Sourcebooks, November 2012) by Todd Andrlik. Reda is an assistant professor of history at Illinois State University, specializing in colonial and early national American history. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 2009. His article, From Subjects to Citizens: Two Pierres and the French Influence on the Transformation of the Illinois Country, appears in the anthology, French and Indians in the Heart of North America, 1630--1815 (Michigan State University Press, 2013). He is currently working on a book for NIU Press entitled From Furs to Farms: Land, Race, and Sovereignty in the Mississippi Valley, 1762--1825. • For more information about Reporting the Revolutionary War, please visit http://raglinen.com/book. • Filming by Jimi Allen Productions.
