Elizabeth Burgin was a Loyalist during the American Revolutionary War who was arrested for aiding British soldiers. Specifically, she was charged with espionage for helping to smuggle British prisoners out of captivity. Her actions were considered treasonous by the American patriots, leading to her imprisonment. Ultimately, she was released after a lengthy legal battle, but her case highlighted the tensions and divisions of the time.
