For tens of thousands of American loyalists at the end of the American Revolution in 1783, the evacuation of British troops spelled worry, not jubilation.

Join Harvard historian Maya Jasanoff to learn about how the lives of ordinary individuals were overturned by extraordinary events, and how their exile across the empire spread American influence to a wider world.
