Applying Knowledge: Connections to Present Day

New York City, NY - July 9, 1776

Building Knowledge Together

For Blacks, what mattered most was freedom. As the Revolutionary War spread, those in bondage sided with whichever army promised them personal liberty. The British actively recruited slaves belonging to Patriot masters and, consequently, more blacks fought for the Crown. For example, Lord Dunmore, the Governor of Virginia, promised freedom to any slaves owned by Patriot masters who would join the Loyalist forces. An estimated 100,000 African Americans escaped, died or were killed during the American Revolution.

Pictured on the left, Barzillai Lew was a free African American who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Like other freemen in the north, he chose the Patriot side, in contrast to southerners who tended to favor the British side.

Applying Knowledge

The first major fighting to take place in the American Revolution was the Battle of Lexington, fought on April 19, 1775. This battle is also easily remembered because of the famous Minutemen, New England soldiers from Massachusetts who were ready for battle within a minute's notice. History rarely, if ever, mentons the fact that Black men were also members of the famous Minutemen!

Lemuel Haynes, for example, was the son of a Black father and white mother. Deserted by his mother and brought up by Deacon David Ross, Haynes developed a strong interest in the ministry [church] and began to write sermons or religious speeches as an adult. Although the patriotic call to bear arms for the American Revolutionary cause interrupted his preparation for the ministry, he would go on to become the first Black minister of a church with a white congregation after the war. Haynes would serve as a pastor in Vermont and New York until his death in 1833.
