Jacobitism, the cause championed by the exiled Stuart royal house, endured from the Revolution of 1688-91 until 1807, fuelled by plots, propaganda and uprisings - especially in Scotland. As the movement shifted from exiled courts in France and Italy to a wider diaspora, Jacobites spread across Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. From soldiers in European armies to settlers in British American colonies, Jacobites left a global impact: aiding Native American resistance yet also engaging in the enslavement of Black Africans. Their experiences abroad influenced European Enlightenment and Romanticism. This book offers a critical yet sympathetic view of Jacobitism, revealing its complex legacy across the world.

Reviews for Conflict and Loyalty: Jacobitism in Europe and Beyond

This book is arresting from the very first page. A distillation of fifty years of research on Scottish Jacobitism, Conflict and Loyalty is full of insights into the impact of Jacobitism on Scotland and – just as importantly – the wider world, to say nothing of glorious vignettes illustrating Allan I. Macinnes’ argument. The net result is a mortal blow to any vision of Scots Jacobitism and Scots patriotism (yes, the two were inextricably intertwined) that fails to understand its global ramifications. * Daniel Szechi, Emeritus Professor of Early Modern History, University of Manchester *
