When the last of the British troops exited New York City on November 25 1783, sixty -thousand British loyalists decided to leave their homes and become refugees elsewhere in the British Empire. Liberty's Exiles re-creates the journeys of some of these individuals including Elizabeth Johnston, a young mother from Georgia who spent many years as a migrant searching for a home in Britain, Jamaica and Canada; David George, a black preacher who was born in slavery and led his followers to Sierra Leone; and Mohawk leader Joseph Brant who resettled his people under British protection in Ontario. As the loyalists dispersed, they carried an enduring American influence on the wider British world.
