The slaves were used as minutemen, or to steel paddle boats. It stated that all men were created equal in the Declaration of Independence except for Blacks, Native-Americans, White men who didn't own land, or women. It was an unfair time, especially considering that Britain was hiring the Black men to fight in their own regiments.

Regiment- A large group of people in an army
