Life for African-Americans after the Revolutionary War

During the American Revolution, many African Americans, both free and enslaved, participated in the fight, driven by the hope of freedom. Initially barred from enlisting by Congress, many joined the British forces under Lord Dunmore's promise of freedom. Despite their contributions, most were not granted freedom, and many faced severe hardships. Post-war, some African Americans migrated to various regions, facing continued oppression. Gradual abolition began in northern states, but racism persisted, highlighting the long struggle for true equality.
