David Mills's brief study of The Concept of Loyalty in Upper Canada, 1784--1850 is the latest addition to our ongoing attempt to understand the early period in its own terms, and particularly to trace the nature of Upper Canada's ideological and political development.
The concept of loyalty, Mills asserts, was the overriding concern of the colonial elite from the time the Loyalists first arrived in Upper Canada to the mid-nineteenth century.
Upper Canada, the Tory elite asserted until well into the 1830s, was a Loyalist province, not a home for American settlers or of political dissent.
