Black Patriots and Loyalists: Fighting for Emancipation in the War for Independence

Product Description

We commonly think of the American Revolution as simply the war for independence from British colonial rule. But, of course, that independence actually applied to only a portion of the American population—African Americans would still be bound in slavery for nearly another century.

In his book Black Patriots and Loyalists: Fighting for Emancipation in the War for Independence, Alan Gilbert asks us to rethink what we know about the Revolutionary War.
