Missing Pieces of the Puzzle: African Americans in Revolutionary Times
Missing Pieces of the Puzzle: African Americans in Revolutionary Times
In a puzzle, each piece counts. Yet often when studying the Revolutionary War, we forget to acknowledge the
important roles Black people (enslaved and free) played, whether in fighting for either side of the war, or
fighting for their own rights to freedom. We have left their pieces of the puzzle out and the history is
incomplete without them. In this project, you will work to create an inclusive puzzle, complete with the roles
African Americans played during the Revolutionary War.
