Description: Book of Negroes : African Americans in Exile After the American Revolution, Paperback by Hodges, Graham Russell Gao (EDT); Brown, Alan Edward (EDT), ISBN 0823298809, ISBN-13 9780823298808, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Since publication of The Black Loyalist Directory in 1996, the primary component, Th of Negroes, has become one of the most-cited of American Revolutionary primary sources. This new edition salutes Th of Negroes by using the original title of this famous accounting of Black freedom. On the surface, Th of Negroes is a laconic, ledger-style enumeration of 3,000 self-emancipated and free Blacks who departed as part of the British evacuation of Loyalists from New York City in the summer and fall of 1783 for Nova Scotia, England, Germany, and other parts of the world. Created under orders from Sir Guy Carleton (Lord Dorchester), Commander-in-Chief of British forces in North America, to placate an angry George Washington, Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army (USA), who regarded the Black Loyalists as fugitive slaves, Th of Negroes is, as Alan Gilbert has observed, a “roll of honor.”
