Slaves' Role in the American Revolution

Slaves also played a big role in the American Revolution. A lot of slaves escaped from their plantations and went to join the army. Some fought for the Americans, but a lot fought for the british because King George the 3rd said that he would free the slaves who fought for the british. A lot of slaves who fought for the british were indeed freed at the end of the war. Some slaves who fought for the Americans were freed too, but some went back to slavery.
