Why were African Americans turned away from the patriot army in 1775?
Some blacks were refused the chance to serve because southern officers refused to have them in their regiments. Many of the southern officers were slaveholders and believed either (a) that blacks were inferior and could not fight, or (b) that teaching blacks to use guns and swords would only encourage the slaves to revolt. The British Army began accepting free blacks and escaped slaves with various promises of rewards including emancipation, land, etc. Some American regiments began admitting blacks, mainly after 1776. About two-thirds of the black soldiers in the Revolutionary War served for the British and one-third for the Americans.
