Freedman's Bureau
In November 1775 congress excluded African Americans from enlisting. This was done out of sensitivity to the opinion of southern slave owners. Yet, when the British offered freedom to any slave who would join them the decision was reversed. Altogether 5,000 free blacks and slaves served in the Continental army during the revolution. By 1778 many states granted freedom to slaves who served in the Revolution. Many slaves also escaped and in Georgia alone 5,000 slaves escaped. In South Carolina a quarter of the slaves escaped to freedom.
Black slaves who served as overseers of other slaves were known as "black overseers" or "slave drivers."
