Les Loyalistes

The American Revolution from 1775 to 1783 was above all a war of clans where neighbors and families clashed with each other. At the end of the conflict, more than 70,000 former inhabitants of the 13 colonies left or lost their homes by fleeing north to Canada. They are the loyalists. They too claim democracy and independence, but by a peaceful evolution and while remaining faithful to Great Britain. Loyalists will transform the wilderness of Canada and shape the future personality of the Canadian people, putting all their faith in law, order and loyalty.
