Maya Jasanoff's Liberty's Exiles examines the diverse diaspora of 60,000 free and 15,000 enslaved Loyalists who fled the American Revolution, fundamentally reshaping the British Empire across Canada, the Caribbean, and Sierra Leone. The study highlights how these refugees, including Black Loyalists and Indigenous leaders, acted as active agents in building a second British Empire, rather than passive victims.
