Minority Soldiers Fighting in the American Revolution

Although African Americans and Native Americans faced racism, unequal treatment, and even slavery in the colonial period, minority soldiers fought bravely for both the British and the Americans in the Revolutionary War. This book looks at the contributions of Native American and African American soldiers and spies, contextualizing their experiences before and after the war. The book also provides information about the war itself and two case studies that trace minority soldiers' heroism in detail.
