Fighting in the war or help around
_______________________________________
"Free Blacks" who served under Gen. Washington were allowed to "take up arms" right away; and many did however Gen. Washington was against those "Enslaved Blacks" serving and taking up arms for fear many would turn against their Masters.
George Washington soon changed his tune after Lord Dunmore issued his proclaimation to free those enslaved blacks who chose to take up arms against the Americans.
Washington issued his counter-proclaimation to those enslaved who chose to fight with the Americans; and many did. They served as spies, war fighters, drummers, cooks, sailors, with very few officers..
Of the nearly 9000 who served under Washington, both Free and enslaved men were given land bounties. Of the my four free-born black ancestors who served, 3 rec'd 100 acres each for their service, and one rec'd 250 acres.
After the War, enslaved blacks were granted their freedom, as promised, along with 25 - 100 acres. Unfortunately the proclaimation did not secure the release of their mates and children who remained in bondage.
The blacks in the Caribbean colonies outnumbered the free blacks and the whites. The black slaves coordinated a revolt and massacred their masters. That was the start of the revolution.
They were usually
soldiers, either forced to fight, or given the right to fight by their Landlord. Some tried to escape while the white men fought.
some sided with the Patriots, others with the British
In the Revolutionary War, The Americans fought against the British.
Lord Dunmore, the governor of Virginia who was entrusted with the role of maintaining British role in the colonies at the beginning of the Revolutionary War, proclaimed that he would free any black slaves that fought for the British. After the revolutionary war, many of them sailed to New York, Nova Scotia, and England. Once there a registry was created detailing the slaves position to the British. In the end it has approximately 3000 names, including men, women, and children. About 200 went to England as freed slaves.

See the Battle of Brandwine.
