- Black_Loyalist abstract "A Black Loyalist was an inhabitant of British America of African descent who joined British colonial forces during the American Revolutionary War. Many were slaves held by Patriot rebels, and joined the British in exchange for The Crown's promises of freedom.Some 3,000 Black Loyalists were evacuated from New York to Nova Scotia; they were individually listed in the Book of Negroes as the British gave them certificates of freedom and arranged for transport. The original of the Book of Negroes and an authenticated transcript are now online. Some of the United Empire Loyalists who migrated to Nova Scotia brought enslaved African Americans with them, a total of 2,500 people. One historian has argued that the slaves were not regarded as Loyalists, since they had no choice in their fates.Thousands of slaves escaped from plantations in the Southeastern United States to British lines, especially after its occupation of Charleston, South Carolina. When the British evacuated, they took many former slaves with them. Some Black Loyalists were evacuated to London and were later included in the population of the Black Poor. With government assistance, 4,000 blacks were transported from London for resettlement to the colony of Sierra Leone in 1787. Five years later, another 1,192 Black Loyalists from Nova Scotia chose to migrate to Sierra Leone, as they were tired of the discrimination and climate in Canada. They became known in Sierra Leone as the Nova Scotian settlers and were part of creating a new nation and, ultimately, government. The modern-day Sierra Leone Creole people (Krios) are their descendants. The American leader Thomas Jefferson referred to the Black Loyalists as \"the fugitives from these States\". Although many Black Loyalists gained freedom, many of them did not. Some Loyalists escaped to the northern states of the US and lived a life of freedom. Others left the US aboard ships headed for Britain. The Loyalists who were not able to escape with the British were sold back into slavery and treated harshly for trying to gain freedom in the first place.".
