Seconding Counter-Revolution of 1776 (and Horne's other books as well).
Absolutely GOATed author, everything by him ive read has been both very readable and well sourced. He's good at showing how terrible the colonists were and how opposed they were to even weak reformist criticisms of their slave state
In 22 hours, you can catch Gerald Horne live talking about this topic of the American Counter-Revolution: https://www.youtube.com/live/95sYVnt5bx8
