The American Revolution and Slavery.

The year 1775 the year of our Lord. The Beganning of the end of Slavery in America.

Both the British and the Colonists Believed that Slaves could  serve an important role during the revolution. In November 1775, Lord Dunmore the Royal Governor of Virginia promased Freedom to all Slaves who would join his Majestys Troops. Some 800 Slaves joined British Forces.  As a result  of the Revolution thousands of Slaves freeded themselfs. Georgia and  South Carolina lost over 25000 Slaves. The Revolution Had a contradictory Consequences on Slavery, In the South Slavery became more entrenched, while in the North as a result of court decisions and gradual emancipation Slaves were freeded.

As you can see that Because of the American Revolution the crack in America was forned. From 1775- 1860 the crack grew wider and wider until America Broke wide open in 1860, under the weight of Slavery. A house cannot stand being half free and half Slave.

Well as you can see the American Revolution steped on the back of Slavery.

In my next posting we began the 1800, the winds of change are comming. the beganning of  the times when America began to fight aganst itself, Afight i may add that gose on today.

All honor and respect to the American Black Women, For it is on her back that America is Built.
