Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American poet published in the Americas, and the first published African-American woman. She did not contribute much to the American Revolution, but she was writing her poetry during the years of the Revolution. In fact, the publication of her poetry was slowed down and hurt during the war years. Her poetry, however, did often express the ideas and themes championed by the rebellious colonists.
Phillis Wheatley was an African American during the slavery years in American history. she was a house slave of George Washington and became well known for her poetry.
Phillis Wheatley's lasting contributions are her poetry. She has been listed many times as one of the 100 greatest African-Americans. She was also the first African-American woman known to have published a book, and also make a living from that book.
