Researching Black Patriots and Loyalists During the Revolutionary Era
Thursday, July 6, 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET
Presented by Danielle Rose
The American War of Independence was not only a fight for freedom from a tyrannical world superpower. Thousands of Black soldiers fought for the patriot cause and even more (tens of thousands) enslaved people fled to the British forces. In this online lecture, Researcher Danielle Rose will provide a brief history of Black soldiers during the Revolutionary War and their motivations for joining either side; and discuss several resources, records, and strategies for piecing together the service and stories of individuals.
