PREVIEW THE TOPICAFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY

At the start of the Revolutionary War, about twenty percent of American colonists were of African ancestry. Many were enslaved; fewer were free. Enslaved people sometimes worked on plantations growing cotton or tobacco. In cities, they worked in homes as domestic servants. If they were educated, they entered into business.In "James Forten," you will read the courage of a free African American who fought for his country in the Revolutionary War. Later, as a successful businessman, he worked to secure basic freedoms for all Americans.
