At the end of the American Revolution, sixty thousand
來源：香港大書城megBookStore,http://www.megbook.com.hk
Americans loyal to the British cause fled the United States and
became refugees throughout the British Empire. This groundbreaking
book offers the first global history of the loyalist exodus to
Canada, the Caribbean, Sierra Leone, India, and beyond. Following
extraordinary journeys like the one of Elizabeth Johnston, a young
mother from Georgia, who led her growing family to Britain,
Jamaica, and Canada, questing for a home; black loyalists such as
David George, who escaped from slavery in Virginia and went on to
found Baptist congregations in Nova Scotia and Sierra Leone; and
Mohawk Indian leader Joseph Brant, who tried to find autonomy for
his people in Ontario, Liberty’s Exiles challenges
conventional understandings about the founding of the United States
and the shaping of the postrevolutionary world. Based on original
research on four continents, this book is at once an intimate
narrative history and a provocative new analysis—a story about the
past that helps us think about migration, tolerance, and liberty in
the world today.
