Best Answer

Released or escaped slaves were officially treated as free by the British Navy, and thousands served with the British throughout the war. This flood of Black Refugees is often compared to the Black Loyalists of the Revolutionary War.

Of the 3,500 Africans who escaped to the British, about 2000 settled in Nova Scotia, and about 400 in New Brusnwick. Others were resettled in Trinidad. A plan to send them to Freetown, Sierra Leone never materialized.
