More than 20,000 African Americans fought for the British. Since the British gave freedom to the enslaved for their loyalty to the crown. That’s not something the American Revolutionary government offered to slaves.
You are re-writing history. Many slaves and former slaves fought for freedom and got it.
Look it up for yourself. It’s a fact that slave holding property owners did not want their slaves to leave. The British offered freedom for slaves who fought for them. My numbers of African Americans who fought on the British side is 20,000. They actually fought something that didn’t happen in Continental Army.

Both sides!
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Both sides? 17 of our Founding Fathers owned slaves. Our Constitution originally numbered African Americans as 3/5 of a person. They certainly wanted their property counted. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler James K Polk all owned slaves and counted them as part of their wealth as property like their horses. You’re attempting to white wash history.
You better reread the purpose of the 3/5 clause. Spreading hate is abhorrent
Either the other commenters were not taught history or they are choosing to believe lies the marxists tell them in order to advance an agenda. Or both. Extremely unfortunate.
I found out Indianapolis has a Crispus Attucks high school.
