This volume explores the issues that divided patriots and loyalists at the time of the American Revolution. It illustrates this division by examining the lives of Benjamin Franklin - the most internationally renowned revolutionary - and his son, William, the last Royal Governor of New Jersey, who remained loyal to the English crown.

A narrative looks at the personal background and political experiences of the two Franklins against the backdrop of events in colonial North America leading up to and during the Revolution. A selection of ten primary documents - including writings by Benjamin and William Franklin - follows the narrative. It also includes a chronology.
