In this historical interpretation, the Pilgrims Society was a well-funded pro-British network that worked through private social connections. Its quiet approach is compared with more visible pro-German campaigning in American politics before intervention. The society is linked to other elite and patriotic organizations, although one associated name remains unclear. Dr. Clarke had found only two histories he considered worthwhile and left open whether the society's limited visibility in other accounts reflected little impact or influence that was difficult to trace.

Why the Pilgrims Society's influence is hard to judge
A proposed account of pro-British social influence remains qualified by uncertainty about its impact and a personal limitation in the histories consulted.
