The Revolution Next Door

Brendan Ray Season 2 Episode 4

We've all heard about the American Revolution, but what did that mean for those who didn't think it was such a great idea at the time?  Loyalist people and Loyalist colonies had different experiences than those celebrated by our Yankee neighbours on the 4th of July. The American Revolution created a refugee crisis that we'll be looking at for the next couple of episodes.
