This surprising new account of the founding of the United States and the shaping of the post-revolutionary world traces extraordinary journeys like the one of Elizabeth Johnston, a young mother from Georgia, who led her growing family to Britain, Jamaica, and Canada, questing for a home; black loyalists such as David George, who escaped from slavery in Virginia and went on to found Baptist congregations in Nova Scotia and Sierra Leone; and Mohawk Indian leader Joseph Brant, who tried to find autonomy for his people in Ontario. Ambitious, original, and personality-filled, this book is at once an intimate narrative history and a provocative analysis that changes how we see the revolution's \"losers\" and their legacies.","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42985337356368,"sku":"9781400075478B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/libertys-exiles","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
