Hey, I almost forgot. I like to post this picture of some American patriots to every CW origins thread, just to make it clear where I stand.

Thanks so much!
It's just too bad there was not photography during our Revolutionary War, because one British officer at Yorktown in 1781 noted the American Continental Army there was about one fourth African-Americans.

So there is simply no disputing the contributions of black Americans from Day One of our republic.
