That was Lord Dunbar’s Ethiopian Regiment. In practice, African American slaves and their families that made it to the Brit lines were bady neglected and potentially thousands died of smallpox and camp diseases. American forces who came across the camp site after the British left were said to have been aghast at the horror.

Dunmore. Not to be a pedant but giving the correct spelling if anyone wants to research more about it. Both the Brits and revolutionaries treated blacks like trash. If I were black then, I’d feel the same way I would if I were around the UK in the English Civil War, “Screw you guys, I’m getting out of here.” And that gets me to another note. That’s what really bothers me about the movie The Patriot. Gibson’s character (based off of Francis Marion, a racist and slave-owner- ad redundant I know) but anyhow, I hated how that film made him out to be an egalitarian in regards to the races.
