Why Did African-Americans patriots fight in the war?

Answer 1

The American Colonists fought the British in the American Revolutionary War because they fought back. When raids occurred in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia where houses were burned and women raped, the Americans raised a militia. They attacked the British at Point Pleasant.

Then the people of New Hampshire drove out the British for the same reason.

Paul Revere tried to get the people of Lexington and Concord worked up about the British Army coming that way. Then fires from burning houses and barns lit the eastern sky. Necked women came screaming begging the local populace to get revenge. The men got their guns and faced the British Army.

In Charleston, Mass., the British Army burned the town and abused the women. Men from all around formed a militia and stood up to the militia at the Battle of Bunker Hill.

In Virginia, the British burned the town of Norfolk to the ground and again abused the women. A militia from North Carolina arrived and drove off the British.

(All this is from the official report to Parliament.)
