This article discusses the 1774 trial of British army chaplain Robert Newburgh for "vicious and immoral behavior," which sheds light on contemporary attitudes towards homosexuality. Historian John Gilbert McCurdy explores how rumors of same-sex relationships had followed Newburgh for years, and how his trial also accused him of disobeying command and inciting mutiny. McCurdy reveals the intertwining of accusations of sexual deviance and rebellion, as the same language used to prosecute Newburgh was also used to discourage American independence. The article provides a detailed and accessible account of the trial, highlighting the complex relationship between sexual and revolutionary politics. [Extracted from the article]
