The American Revolution was a time of great upheaval and change. It was a time when the thirteen colonies broke away from British rule and declared their independence. It was also a time when the institution of slavery was challenged, and African Americans began to fight for their freedom.

African Americans played a significant role in the American Revolution. They fought in the Continental Army, they worked as spies and messengers, and they provided logistical support to the war effort. Their contributions helped to secure the victory of the American colonies.
