Loyal Refugees

The American Revolution frequently turned neighbour against neighbour, brother against brother, and father against son. By the end of the conflict, more than seventy thousand former residents of the Thirteen Colonies left or lost their homes. Most headed north to the Canadian wilderness. Although they too, wanted independent and democratic rights, they believed in law, order, and loyalty to Britain. Grade 5 and up.
