Why were enslaved African Americans barred from enlisting in the war?

Enslaved Africans were not barred from enlisting in the Revolutionary war and enlisted on both sides of the conflict, British and American, believing their contribution would lead to their own freedom. Examples of the many African slaves who fought in the revolution are: Crispus Attucks, a fugitive slave who fought and died in the Boston Massacre of 1770 Peter Salem who fought at Bunker Hill and is reported to have fired the shot that killed Major John Pitcairn of the Royal Marines. Salem Poor who also distinguished himself at Bunker Hill and was commended by several officers to the Continental Congress. Pomp Fisk, Grant Coope, Caesar Brown, Charleston Eads, Seymour Burr, Titus Coburn and Cuff Hayes, all African salve who fought at Bunker hill. Of these men, Caesar Brown and Cuff Hayes were killed in this battle. When George Washington took over as Commander in Chief of the Continental army, there were many colonist who were strongly opposed to African slaves fighting and enlisting in this war and the pressure was great to stop this practice and if it weren't for the declaration of the Lord of Dunmore on the British side who proclaimed all slaves free who were willing and able to bear arms and enlist for His Majesties troops. Of the 300,000 troops who fought in the Continental army approximately 5,000 were enslaved Africans.
