How were African Americans involved in the Revolutionary War? Who did they support and why?

Sagot :


Most black soldiers were scattered throughout the Continental Army in integrated infantry regiments, where they were often assigned to support roles as wagoners, cooks, waiters or artisans. African Americans also served as gunners, sailors on privateers and in the Continental Navy during the Revolution.

African-Americans fought for both sides, providing manpower to both the British and the revolutionaries.
