You don’t know the whole story of the American Revolution. The War for Independence was not just colonists fighting to be free of British rule, but also black slaves fighting to be free, period. Our free e-book for OctoberBlack Patriots and Loyalists: Fighting for Emancipation in the War for Independence by Alan Gilbert, is the story of the revolution within the revolution: the story of those who fought with the rebellion and expected freedom, and those who fought with the British for freedom as a promised reward. Learn the other half of history in this month’s free e-bookBlack Patriots and Loyalists.
“Drawing on first-person accounts and other primary sources, Gilbert tells an often inspiring but ultimately sad story, since American slavery endured and even expanded after the revolution. Still, the personal stories of those who fought on the patriots’ side in an all-black regiment and on the loyalist side in exchange for a promise of freedom are fascinating.”—Booklist
