    The American Background of Loyalist Slaves Harvey Amani Whitfield

    Left History 14_1-b - Quark Final 12/4/09 1:06 PM Page 58 58 Whitfield The American Background of Loyalist Slaves Harvey Amani Whitfield Introduction This article examines the experience of Loyalist slaves before leaving the American colonies for Maritime Canada during and after the Revolutionary War. It seeks to understand the lives of Loyalist slaves before the war and the types of experiences, work patterns, traditions, and cultures they brought to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Cape Breton, and Prince Edward Island after 1783. This article demonstrates that Loyalist slaves cannot be understood as a single homogenous group, rather they must be seen as a diverse set of slaves who had incredibly dif- ferent and complex experiences before arriving in Maritime Canada. As the fol- lowing personal experiences indicate, this diversity of Loyalist slaves emerges from even the most fragmentary evidence.1 In 1783, twenty-six year old Dinah boarded the Apollo destined for Shelburne, Nova Scotia. She did not travel with any family members. Alongside her were three other African Americans who had achieved freedom during the Revolutionary War. As these men wondered about the type of freedom that await- ed them in Nova Scotia, Dinah remained enslaved.2 She had labored in New York City for grocer Robert Wilkins along with two other “servants” whose status and race are unclear.3 After arriving in Shelburne, Dinah continued to work for Wilkins until the summer of 1786 when “she went away” wearing “a blue and white Ticking Petticoat, a purple and white Callico short Gown, and an old blue Cloak.”4 Eight-year-old Venus’s owner John Herbert made the fateful decision to support Lord Dunmore and those Virginians still loyal to His Majesty.

Copyright 1928 The Society of Colonial Wars in the Stci tc of New Jersey Press oj Innes & Sons Philadelphia PREFACE N the foreword of "The First Americans" the Editors say, "The beginning of the thirteen English Colonies, so big I with destiny, have stirred the reverent curiosity of Ameri' can historians generation after generation." It is one of the ob' jects of the Society of Colonial Wars to promote an interest in and knowledge of Colonial history, not only by historians but by the ordinary man who professes that he has no time to devote to things that are past. In this day when distance is made unimportant by the motor vehicle, and we can in a day cover a mileage, which would have taken many days in Colonial times, there is no excuse for unfamiliarity or lack of knowledge of the historic spots in one's own State. When the State is one with a his- tory so fascinating and so closely connected with our National history, there is even less excuse for ignorance.

ABSTRACT This thesis makes available, in as complete a collection as it has been possible to assemble, the poetry of Jonathan Odell, the first Provincial Secretary of New Brunswick, who was also a clergy• man, doctor, and worker for the Loyalist cause during the American Revolution. Until now, Odell has been known almost wholly as a writer of political satire, comparable to Philip Freneau on the Revolutionary side. Further investigation, however, proves that Odell»s literary activity continued long after the Revolutionary period and hesides satire, included patriotic verse, occasional pieces, and descriptive and reflective poems. It was also confirmed that he wrote an essay on prosody which was published in England in 1805.

    A Bibliography of Loyalist Source Material in Canada JO-ANN FELLOWS, Editor KATHRYN CALDER, Researcher PROGRAM FOR LOYALIST STUDIES AND PUBLICATIONS Sponsored by the American Antiquarian Society City University of New Tork University of London and University of New Brunswick by ROBERT A. EAST, Executive Director The origins of this Program are to be found in the pros- pectus issued in April 1968 by Professor East of the History faculty of the City University of New York and James E. Mooney, Editor of Publications of the American Antiquarian Society. It was the feeling of both that the imminent anniversary of the Revolution would make such an undertaking an impera- tive of historical scholarship, for an understanding of the Rev- olution would be necessarily incomplete and inevitably dis- torted without the full story of the American Loyalists. It was the hope of both that the work could go forward under the joint sponsorship of both institutions, and this was quickly gained. The next step was to canvass the scholarly community in England, Canada, and the United States to learn of its reac- 67 68 American Antiquarian Society tions. The prospectus was written, handsomely printed by Alden Johnson of the Barre Publishers, and sent out to a number of scholars, archivists, and others. The response to this mailing was even more enthusiastic than Professor East or Mr. Mooney had hoped for and led to discussions concerning even broader sponsorship of an inter- national character. Thomas J. Condon ofthe American Council of Learned Societies early took a cheering interest in the proj- ect and pledged the cooperation of his august organization to advance the work.

JRR 2213 Cab II, John Ross Robertson Collection, Baldwin Room, Toronto Reference Library Public domain 1 Preface Over the past few years, universities in Canada, the United States, Great Britain, and beyond have undertaken studies exploring the connections between slavery and the history of their institutions. In February 2018, the University of King’s College in Halifax, Nova Scotia, initiated its own investigations to bring to light ways in which slavery and the profits derived from trade in the products of enslaved labour contributed to the creation and early operation of King’s, Canada’s oldest chartered university. David W. States, a historian of African Nova Scotia with a multi-generational personal heritage in this province, and Karolyn Smardz Frost, an archaeologist, historian and author whose studies focus on African Canadian and African American transnationalism, were chosen to become part of a small cadre of scholars charged with the task of bringing different aspects of this long-hidden history to light.
