Question

What relevance does the work of Anton Chaitkin have for Americans today?

Answer 1

Anton Chaitkin authored Treason in America -- from Aaron Burr to Averell Harriman. The basic premise of the book is that the American Revolution was not successfully concluded, because a significant Tory faction has persisted in US politics which is philosphically opposed to the ideas of the Revolution, and has sought to undermine them. According to Chaitkin, this faction has included Wall Street financiers, Boston Brahmins, and Confederate secessionists.
