“A Loyalist from 96”
Margaret Chesney was an American by birth, but Irish by heritage. Married to an Irish-born officer in the British Army, by the time war reached the upcountry of South Carolina, Margaret didn’t feel she fit in anywhere. Caught between neighbors and friends of varying loyalties, grappling with the politics of Revolution, Margaret leaves everything behind to bring her story to you. She questions what it means to be American, to be free, and to sacrifice everything for your beliefs, even when the world seems to turn against you. Margaret’s post-script takes a heart-wrenching turn.
