WILLIAM C. NELL, CHARLES LENOX REMOND, HENRY WEEDEN, LEWIS HAYDEN, FREDERICK G. BARBADOES, JOSHUA B. SMITH, LEMUEL BURR. Boston, Feb. 22d, 1851. This petition was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, who granted a hearing to the petitioners, in whose behalf appeared Wendell Phillips, Esq., and William C. Nell, but finally submitted an adverse report, on the ground that a boy, Christopher Snyder, was previously killed. Admitting this fact, (which was the result of a very different scene from that in which Attucks fell, ) it does not offset the claims of Attucks, and those who made the 5th of March famous in our annals -- the day which history selects as the dawn of the American...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution shines a light on the overlooked contributions of African Americans during the Revolutionary War. First published in 1855, this seminal work by abolitionist William C. Nell features biographical sketches of black soldiers who fought courageously for America's independence. Nell's groundbreaking research documents the participation of men like Crispus Attucks, an African American martyr who was the first man shot dead by British troops during the Boston Massacre. The book also highlights black patriots like James Armistead Lafayette, an American double spy who successfully infiltrated British forces under the command of Benedict Arnold. In vivid detail, Nell records acts of heroism and sacrifice by African Americans during the nation's founding era. His book stands as an important testament to the role of black soldiers in the Revolutionary War, challenging prevailing narratives that overlooked their service and significance. More than a vital historical document, The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution makes the moral case for black liberation and equal civil rights, establishing Nell as a pioneering voice against slavery and oppression.

THIS BOOK CONSISTS OF THE COMPLETE VERSIONS OF THE TWO FOLLOWING TITLES: THE COLORED PATRIOTS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, WITH SKETCHES OF SEVERAL DISTINGUISHED COLORED PERSONS: TO WHICH IS ADDED A BRIEF SURVEY OF THE Condition and Prospects of Colored Americans. By WM. C. NELL. WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE. (c)1855. THE NARRATIVE OF JAMES ROBERTS, A SOLDIER UNDER GEN. WASHINGTON IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR, AND UNDER GEN. JACKSON AT THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS, IN THE WAR OF 1812: "A BATTLE WHICH COST ME A LIMB, SOME BLOOD, AND ALMOST MY LIFE." by JAMES ROBERTS (c) 1858. ________________________________________ THE colored race have been generally considered by their enemies, and sometimes even by their friends, as deficient in energy and courage. Their virtues have been supposed to be principally negative ones. This little collection of interesting incidents, made by a colored man, will redeem the character of the race from this misconception, and show how much injustice there may often be in a generally admitted idea. In considering the services of the Colored Patriots of the Revolution, we are to reflect upon them as far more magnanimous, because rendered to a nation which did not acknowledge them as citizens and equals, and in whose interests and prosperity they had less at stake. It was not for their own land they fought, not even for a land which had adopted them, but for a land which had enslaved them, and whose laws, even in freedom, oftener oppressed than protected. Bravery, under such circumstances, has a peculiar beauty and merit. "THE COLORED PATRIOTS OF THE AMERICAN."
