商品描述

This book focuses on the American Revolution's first Black soldiers. While Patriots in New England dumped tea in Boston Harbor and fought British Regulars at Lexington and Concord, something else was going on further south at the start of the Revolutionary War. In Hampton Roads, Virginia, enslaved people understood that the emerging conflict presented an opportunity to challenge their unfreedom and to fight for liberty for themselves. With the help of the Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, thousands of slaves ran away, took up arms, and formed the all-Black Ethiopian Regiment in a new military experiment in 1775 and 1776. In exchange for their freedom from slavery, slaves would join the Ethiopian Regiment and test the boundaries of Revolutionary American society. They would also ensure that the Revolutionary War would become something greater than independence from Great Britain: they would ensure that the war would be about slavery itself.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書專注於美國革命時期的第一批黑人士兵。在新英格蘭，愛國者們在波士頓港傾倒茶葉，並在萊克星頓和康科德與英國常規軍作戰時，革命戰爭開始時在南方發生了其他事情。在維吉尼亞州的漢普頓路，奴隸們明白，這場新興的衝突提供了一個挑戰他們不自由的機會，並為自己爭取自由。在維吉尼亞皇家總督鄧莫爾勳爵的幫助下，成千上萬的奴隸逃跑，拿起武器，並在1775年和1776年組成了全黑人埃塞俄比亞團，這是一個新的軍事實驗。作為獲得自由的交換，奴隸們將加入埃塞俄比亞團，並測試革命美國社會的界限。他們還將確保革命戰爭成為超越脫離大英帝國的更大事務：他們將確保這場戰爭將關乎奴隸制本身。
