But there is one story that is often overlooked in the American Revolutionary canon.
The conflict was long and bloody, and no side emerged unscathed. As the tensions inevitably boiled over into violence, fault lines were exposed as every person was forced to choose a side. The citizenry was divided between those who wished to establish a new republic and those who remained steadfast in their dedication to the British Empire. In 1776, tensions in the British colonies were reaching a fever pitch. Newman recounts the dramatic journey of the United Empire Loyalists-their exodus from America, their resettlement in the wilds of British North America, and their defense of what would prove to be the social and moral foundation of Canada.
