Synopsis

Exploring the Loyalists' long road from war to recompense
This book traces how American Loyalists faced exile, loss, and the fight for justice after the Revolution. It covers their claims, compensation battles, and the mass migrations that reshaped Canadian and British North American communities. The narrative stays focused on the individuals, actions, and systems that defined their experiences.

- Learn how Loyalists organized to seek redress and how the government evaluated losses.
- See the range of claimed losses, from property to professions, and the disputes over what was due.
- Understand the scale of emigration to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Canada, and how settlers were supported.
- Discover how lands, tools, and pensions were distributed to rebuild lives and communities.

Ideal for readers interested in early American history, the Loyalist perspective, and the human side of postwar settlement and policy.
