There is a Canadian myth about the Loyalists who left the United
States after the American Revolution for Canada. The myth says they
were white, upper-class citizens devoted to British ideals,
transplanting the best of colonial American society to British
North America. In reality, more than 10 per cent of the Loyalists
who came to the Maritime provinces were black and had been slaves.
The Black Loyalists tells the story of one such group who came to
Nova Scotia, but didn't stay. James Walker documents their
experience in Canada, following them across the Atlantic as they
became part of a unique colonial experiment in Sierra Leone.
