I've often said, usually to myself, that there's no need for Black History Month. American history IS black history.

Bingo.

And while we're on the subject, historians of the RevWar note that more American blacks than whites died during the Revolution. How? The Brits offered freedom to the slaves, and thousands came to their side. Some fought, but the great majority of them were put into camps where thousands died of smallpox, typhus, etc. The Brits just wanted to disrupt our side, and had no plan for them.
