LIBERTY'S EXILES American Loyalists in the Revolutionary World

This broad-ranging account brings listeners through the experiences of the diverse communities of Loyalists who spread the spirit of the American Revolution across the British Empire. It documents an important and largely forgotten consequence of American independence: Loyalists--black, Indian, and white; rich and poor--spread across the world from Nova Scotia to Sierra Leone, Bengal to the Bahamas, bringing with them new notions of individual rights and political action that many would associate with those who remained at home in the new American republic. Narrator L.J. Ganser does a good job of conveying an enormous amount of information. He brings Jasanoff's occasional quotes to life. His pace is good and easy to follow.
