Free African Americans began fighting for the patriot cause during the American Revolutionary War, which lasted from 1775 to 1783. Many joined the Continental Army and local militias in the early years of the conflict, particularly after the British offered emancipation to enslaved individuals who fought against the colonists. Notable regiments, such as the 1st Rhode Island Regiment, included free and enslaved African Americans, highlighting their significant contributions to the war effort. Their involvement laid early groundwork for future struggles for freedom and civil rights.
