Summary:
"Among the
Loyalists
who were transported to the shores of
New
Brunswick
by the British after their defeat by revolutionary
Americans
were several hundred
African
Americans
. Like their counterparts who went to what is now Nova Scotia, among this group were both freed blacks and former enslaved men, women and children who had been granted their freedom in exchange for joining the British side during the revolutionary war. In the colony that soon became
New
Brunswick
, slavery was still legal. Many
African
American
Loyalists
had to become indentured labourers to survive in this
new
situation. Many others took up the opportunity offered them in 1791 to move yet again, this time to Sierra Leone in Africa where many
Black
Loyalists
established a
new
colony on the coast of Africa where they lived free of slavery. The stories of
New
Brunswick
's
Black
Loyalists
are captured in the brief biographies of twelve individuals -- men, women and youths -- presented by author Stephen Davidson. Through their experiences a picture emerges of the narrow limits to the freedom which the
Black
Loyalists
were able to experience in a predominantly white and highly racist colony."--From publisher.
