Description

Throughout the American Revolution, thousands of slaves fled from their masters to search out freedom with the British. Having emancipated themselves–and with rhetoric in regards to the inalienable rights of free men ringing of their ears–these women and men struggled tenaciously to make liberty a reality of their lives.

This alternative narrative includes the stories of dozens of individuals–including Harry, one in every of George Washington’s slaves–who left The usa and forged difficult new lives in far-flung corners of the British Empire. Written in the most productive tradition of history from the bottom up, this pathbreaking work will alter the way in which we take into accounts the American Revolution.
