How did Washington's policy toward African Americans soldier change?

Answer 1

OK. on the american side, washington at first refused to accept african american sodiers. but the british offer of freedom to enslaved people made washington change his policy. by the end of the war, some 7,000 african americans had served on the american side, including 2,000 navy. african americans also served in northern militais and state armies. most soulthern states, however, refused to accept african american soldiers. slave owners feared armed slave revolts.
