Before America became a nation, Black men and women were already standing in the fire of its founding struggle.
Black Patriots: Heroes of the Revolution uncovers the overlooked soldiers, spies, poets, and freedom seekers whose courage helped shape America's fight for liberty, even as the country denied that same liberty to many of them. From Crispus Attucks and the blood on King Street to Phillis Wheatley's powerful pen, from James Armistead Lafayette's dangerous intelligence work to the Black soldiers who stood in formation under enemy fire, this book brings forgotten lives back into the center of the American story.
This is not a polished myth of the Revolution. It is a gripping account of courage, contradiction, sacrifice, and memory. It reveals how Black Americans fought, wrote, served, escaped, endured, and forced the young nation to confront the true meaning of freedom.
For readers who love powerful history, untold stories, and the human drama behind America's founding, this book offers a deeper, bolder look at the Revolution you thought you knew.
Discover the names history tried to leave behind, and see America's fight for liberty through a sharper, more honest lens.
