    Liberty's Exiles Summary

    • 4 Pages

    Liberty’s Exiles Liberty’s Exiles by Maya Jasanoff, follows Americans who remained loyal to the crown during the American Revolution. Jasanoff uses the effects the revolution had upon these loyalists, such their inability to bring the majority of their belongings with them when they fled America and how the British Empire reacted to such complications, as a way to argue what she claims is the “Spirit of 1783.” As a secondary theme she argues the concept of the loyalists’ exodus from America to every corner of the British Empire as a diaspora. She carefully goes over the impact the loyalists had upon the areas they settled in, such as the Bahamas where the population doubled or Sierra Leone, where they became a part of a colony of ex-slaves. In this regard, Liberty’s Exiles is similar in style to Daniel Rodgers’ Atlantic Crossings.…

    Between 1763 and 1800 a social revolution occurred in America bringing attention to different groups of people. Many historians interpret the American Revolution having two major problems. Gordon S. Wood argued that radical ideas of liberty grew in the colonies and ultimately led to a successful break from England and establishment of a nation built upon liberty. On the other hand, Alfred Young points outs that the revolution meant different things to different people, and that the successes and failures of the ideological movement would depend upon who you asked; meaning different groups of people understood what was happening differently. Colonists living in cities, especially women and African Americans, development a sense of a social…

    From the construction of this nation, to becoming America, this nation has promoted three main concepts: liberty freedom and equality.

    Paper #1: Chapters 1-3 of Voices of Freedom Looking back at the whole occurrence of the discovery of the New World it becomes evident the many hardships that the colonial settlers caused which justifies the egocentric intentions of the many Europeans. It seems that even though the settlers were fleeing from a country that forced views among themselves or caused unjust situations; the colonists were precisely acting on the foreign population, who they viewed as “lesser”, similarly to that of their homelands. Although at the time the occurrence was not obvious, looking at it from today’s standpoint, it is quit ironic.
