 | | Lord Dunmore's Loyalist black 'Ethiopian Regiment' in Virginia bore the motto "Liberty to Slaves" in intentional parody of the white Virginian motto "Liberty or Death". | | | Therefore when Loyalist slaveowners left the country they took their slaves to Jamaica and other islands where conditions were bleak for the slaves. | | | From the Loyalist perspective in 1775, the Loyalists were the honourable ones who stood by the Crown and the British Empire, and had to flee persecution from disloyal American radicals. |

| | As a general rule, Loyalist regiments were raised by Americans rather than, as one might assume, by the British. | | | A major change that the Loyalist evacuation from America had upon the fledgling United States was the shift of power from patrimonialistic, aristocratic "founding" families (such as the Penns, Chews, Allens, Hamiltons and Shippens from Pennsylvania) to common, hardworking men. | | | The exiles' estates were confiscated and resold by the state legislatures; it would be this confiscation of Loyalist property that would put a snag in the development of a satisfactory peace treaty in 1783. |
