Liberty's Exiles

American Loyalists in the Revolutionary World

Maya Jasanoff

[HISTORY] Discover the untold story of the loyalist exodus after the American Revolution. Sixty thousand Americans loyal to the British cause became refugees throughout the British Empire, seeking shelter in Canada, the Caribbean, Sierra Leone, India, and beyond. Follow the journeys of fascinating individuals like Elizabeth Johnston, David George, and Joseph Brant, and learn how their experiences changed the post-revolutionary world. This intimate and thought-provoking account challenges traditional perceptions of the revolution's "losers" and their lasting impact. Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.
