085 American Loyalists in Canada
Description
The War for Independence was a conflict between Great Britain and her 13 North American colonies. It was also a civil war.
Not only did the war pit Briton against Briton when the conflict began in 1775, but it also pitted American against American.
But what happened to the Americans who lost?
Today, Bonnie Huskins, coordinator of Loyalist Studies at the University of New Brunswick, joins us to explore the experiences of the American Loyalists.
