Details
People of color fought on both sides of the American Revolution. But for some enslaved people, the British Army offered a unique opportunity for freedom. Learn about the three British proclamations enslaved people used to find freedom behind British lines, the lives of formerly enslaved individuals from Westchester County, New York, and New Jersey who fought for and worked with the British Army, and what happened to the Black Loyalists after the war.
