At the time of the Revolutionary War, a fifth of the Colonial population was African American. By 1779, 15 percent of the Continental Army were former slaves, while the Navy recruited both free men and slaves. More than 5000 black Americans fought for independence in an integrated military--it would be the last until the Korean War.

The majority of Indian tribes sided with the British yet some Native Americans rallied to the American cause and suffered heavy losses. Of 26 Wampanoag enlistees from the small town of Mashpee on Cape Cod, only one came home. Half of the Pequots who went to war did not survive. Mohegans John and Samuel Ashbow fought at Bunker Hill. Samuel was killed there--the first Native American to die in the Revolution.

This history recounts the sacrifices made by forgotten people of color to gain independence for the people who enslaved and extirpated them.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...an extraordinary and seminal contribution to community and academic library collections and supplemental studies list."---Midwest Book Review

"An impressivelyresearched and deftly written contribution to our understanding of the AmericanRevolution. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of students,academia, and non-specialist general readers."---Reviewer's Bookwatch, Carson'sBookshelf.

"This is a usefulbook for anyone interested in those who served and particularly in the subjectof men of color who served."---Strategy Page, The News as History.

"It showcases black and indigenous perspectives of Revolutionarybattlefields from Lexington to Yorktown, and should be consulted by historiansinterested in those sources."---Joseph McGaughy, H-Net Reviews, Dec. 2020
