African American Loyalists: Challenges
Physical Challenges
Traitors
The Rebels beat and jailed them, ridiculed them and took away their land, property and possessions forcing the loyalists to flee.
Slave
Previously enslaved because they are black and because of their culture and religion.
Money
The Black Loyalists worked as tenants farmers. They farmed the plot of land they were given, but then they had to give away half of the money they got from sales to the land owners.
Wanted their British Heritage
The loyalists did not want to settle in Quebec. They wanted to keep their British Heritage and voiced their complaints to the British about wanting their own colony and institution.
Land
Although the African Americans received some land, it was not as good of land as the other loyalists received and the Black Loyalists had to work as tenant farmers.
Emotional Challenges
Wanted to be free
Wanted to have their own things and government and to have their own way of doing it.
Languages
They felt as though they couldn't be their own colony and have their own religion and language while living in Quebec because the French presence was so strong.
Traitors
Although the Rebels were doing all they could to hurt the loyalists physically they also hurt them emotionally. They took away their home and possessions and forced them to flee. It would be emotionally challenging to get kicked out of the place you call home.
Religions
Most of the loyalists including the Black Loyalists did not want to settle in Quebec because of the unfamiliar languages.
Racism and Discrimination
The other loyalists received things that the black loyalists did not, like more land or better land because they are white.
