     To help listeners 
     
     understand the plight of the 
     
     Loyalists, David Cayley 
     
     outlines the nature of the 
     
     American Revolution in the 
     
     Nov. 1M program. He 
     
     describes who the Leyalists 
     
     were, 
     
     they had to leave 
     
     ,homes in the Thirteen 
     
     Colonies. He discusses 
     
     their military role ( a 
     
    
   
   
    
     number of them fought with 
     
    
   
   
    
     the Provincial Corps, a sort 
     
     of guerrilla group), and 
     
     their rele in the founding 
     
     of Canada. Caley says; "We 
     
     tend not to recognize the 
     
    
   
   
    
     and tells how and why 
     
     their 
     
    
   
   
    
     ‘The 
     
    
   
   
    
     sent to Nova Scotia. Only a 
     
     few of them were wealthy. 
     
     rest were desperate. 
     
     New Brunswick was created as 
     
     a_special province for them 
     
     in'iflvh.“ 
     
    
   
   
    
     In the Nov. 21 
     
     broadcast Cayley talks about 
     
     the founding of Canada and 
     
     the Loyalist heritage, 
     
     discussing who they were -in 
     
    

    
     Irelation to 
     
     tbday, and how Our notions 
     
     of loyalism have changed 
     
     over the' years. He says: 
     
     "Up to the time of the First 
     
     World War, imperialist 
     
     Sentiment was strong here, 
     
     and because the Loyalists 
     
     stood for unity of empire 
     
     they were remembered warmly. 
     
     While unity of empire is not
