Rough Crossings Britain, The Slaves and The American Revolution by Simon Schama details the odyssey of escaped blacks through the fire of war, terror of recapture, and an inhospitable Nova Scotia where thousands who served the Crown were betrayed. In response to the VA governor who declared that any who escaped and served the King would be emancipated, thousands clung to the notion of British freedom and tried to reach the British camps. It is a compelling narrative in the history of the American Revolution.
