Among the many African Americans who fought for independence was Crispus Attucks, a former enslaved man who is often recognized as the first casualty of the American Revolution during the Boston Massacre in 1770. His death became a powerful symbol for the abolitionist movement and the fight for civil rights. Additionally, thousands of African Americans served in various capacities during the Revolutionary War, contributing significantly to the struggle for American independence. Their involvement highlighted the complex relationship between the fight for freedom and the institution of slavery in the United States.
