Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American poet published in the Americas, and the first published African-American woman. She did not contribute much to the American Revolution, but she was writing her poetry during the years of the Revolution. In fact, the publication of her poetry was slowed down and hurt during the war years. Her poetry, however, did often express the ideas and themes championed by the rebellious colonists.
