Sobre este artículo
New York: Ecco, 2006. 1st Printing. Trade Paperback. Fine. 6x1x9. First printing. An exceptional copy. 2006 Trade Paperback. xiv, 478 pp. If you were black in America at the start of the Revolutionary War, whom would you want to win' In response to a declaration by the last governor of Virginia that any rebel-owned slave who escaped and served the King would be emancpated, tens of thousands of blacks voted with feet, escaping to fight beside the British. Originally designed to break the plantations of the American South, this military strategy instead unleashed one of the great exoduses in American history. Told in the voices of the slaves and the white abolitionists who aided them, Simon Schama vividly details the odyssey of these escaped blacks, shedding light on an extraordinary chapter in America’s birth.

This gives an account of the history of thousands of enslaved African Americans who escaped to the British cause during the American War of Independence.
