This volume also examines the racial discord that erupted between black and white loyalists as, respectively, one group sought greater legal freedoms while the other sought greater economic benefits. With this work, Curry adds a new chapter to the global dimensions of the freedom struggle that emanated from the American Revolution. 606 $aAfrican American loyalists$zBahamas 606 $aSlavery$zBahamas$xHistory 606 $aBlack people$zBahamas$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American loyalists 615 0$aSlavery$xHistory. 615 0$aBlack people$xHistory. 676 $a305.89607296 700 $aCurry$b Christopher$0883169 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465794203321 996 $aFreedom and resistance$91972816 997 $aUNINA
