　　At the end of the American Revolution, sixty thousand

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.
