Slide 34
In the end.there was no reward. The optimal arrangement for
liberated slaves would have been to remain in British-occupied
America, where the military could have backed the promise of
freedom with force. When the black loyalists sailed away from
America, they moved out of a militarized world and into a civil
society that was not capable of fulfilling the debt owed to them.
Britain had largely externalized slavery to its sugar colonies. It
therefore seemed perfectly natural to externalize the black
loyalists as well. Those who landed in London were soon starving in
the streets. Those who had gone to Nova Scotia were often
exploited, denied the land they had been promised and trapped in
destitution. Those who left England and Canada for the black colony
in Sierra Leone dreamed up by abolitionists suffered terribly as a
result of warfare, disease and mismanagement.
