Isaac Hunt, a man raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, one of the most pro-independence states at the time, was a loyalist. “On the other hand, I will admit, for argument's sake, the colonists are able to protect themselves by land; yet this cannot be done without a union among themselves”(Hunt 14). Although Hunt believed in America’s ability to defend themselves, he did not believe in the country uniting as one. Hunt, a man of many talents with great scholar success, would ultimately choose to be a lawyer in Philadelphia. Hunt would earn a Bachelor's degree of the Arts in 1763, he would study law and earn his licence in 1765, and earn two more degrees in the Arts, one from Philadelphia in 1771 and the final one in New York in 1773.

This would go into detail what right every Englishman had, whether they lived in the colonies or England. Many colonist did not feel that their rights were taken into consideration, ultimately resulting in the revolution. Isaac Hunt was well known for the pamphlet The Political Family: or A discourse, pointing out the reciprocal advantages, which flow from an uninterrupted union between Great-Britain and her American colonies, which was shortened to The Political Family. Isaac wrote this pamphlet in 1766, but did not publish it until nine years later 1775. In this, Hunt would explain how there should be ““uninterrupted union between Great Britain and her American Colonies””(Leary 270). Described by Robert Shackleton in The Book of Philadelphia, this piece would get Hunt paraded around the town, beaten, almost tarred and feathered, and would lead to him fleeing Philadelphia to Jamaica, then finally to England with his wife. They would arrive in 1776 penniless and extremely weak. “His legal training was not recognized in England, and he had been obligated to find another profession. He toyed with the theatre, where his superb voice would have been an asset, but discarded this in favour of the family calling of the church”(Blainey
