The Blacks in New Brunswick . W.A. Spray
White Archives, Black Fragments
Slavery is the most neglected aspect of pre-Confederation Canadian history. Yet traces and examples of slavery are imprinted in various documents throughout the Maritimes, Upper Canada, and Quebec. It is not surprising that slavery played a part in Canadian history, but it is startling that it has not received widespread attention from the general Canadian public and historians alike. Just five years ago, Ken Donovan noted that, although various …
North to Bondage
Many Canadians believe their nation fell on the right side of history in harbouring black slaves from the United States. In fact, in the wake of the American Revolution, Loyalist families brought slaves with them to settle in the Maritime colonies of British North America. The transition from slavery in the American colonies to slavery in the Maritimes required slaves to use their traditions of survival, resistance, and kinship networks to negoti…

However, what about black people who were slaves in the American colonies and remained slaves after migrating to Maritime Canada with their masters? This article examines the historiography of the Black Loyalists in Maritime Canada and attempts to address the e…
Blacks on the Border
Following the American Revolution, free black communities and enslaved African Americans increasingly struggled to reconcile their African heritage with their American home. This struggle resulted in tens of thousands of African Americans seeking new homes in areas as diverse as Haiti and Nova Scotia. Black refugees arrived in Nova Scotia after the War of 1812 with little in common but their desire for freedom. By 1860, they had formed families, …
