Abstract
The american revolution prompted a number of putative American playwrights to adopt dramatic form in order to translate the swirl of political, economic, and military upheavals in their midst. The majority of these plays stake out ideological positions that leave little doubt of their intention. Mercy Warren's three political satires, The Adulateur, The Defeat, and The Group, resolutely stick Massachusetts royal governor Thomas Hutchinson and his followers on her well-hoisted poniard in the service of whig politics. For his part, Hugh Henry Brackenridge turns the Quebec expedition of December 1775, with its fallen hero, General Richard Montgomery, and the Bunker Hill battle of the following spring into heroic tragedies, while John Leacock pillories the British government and celebrates early American successes in his Fall of British Tyranny. On the tory side, there are fewer examples of closet political plays that have survived, but The Battle of Brooklyn, for one, mocks the incompetence of Washington and his army in the New York campaign of 1776. Given the polarizing atmosphere of the 1774–1776 period in particular, such clear denomination of party and cause is not surprising. For these playwrights, the markers "British" and "American" take on new meaning; new identities are quickly forged in the world of these plays, patriot and loyalist, rebels and tyrants. Such plays serve to rally or mock, stir or propagandize. This is not to say that each play does not have its subtleties.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
