Charles Inglis was an influential figure in 18th century American history, known primarily for his role as a loyalist during the American Revolutionary War. Born in Ireland in 1734, he later moved to the American colonies where he became a prominent Anglican clergyman and a strong supporter of British authority. His loyalty to the crown placed him in opposition to the revolutionary sentiments of many colonists, leading him to advocate for the loyalists and their rights.
Inglis’s writings highlighted the philosophical and theological arguments for loyalty to the British Empire. He believed that maintaining allegiance to the crown was not only a matter of political loyalty but also a reflection of divine order. His perspectives were significant in shaping the loyalist narrative during a time of intense conflict and division within the colonies.
