I’d like to ask glover where the slaves were in Lexington and Concord when the British were trying to steal the power and firearms. Were there any within 600 miles?

Really? Just over the ridge ~ in New York actually, one of my ancestors owned 600 slaves at the time ~ really strange eh?

Slavery was widespread in the British North American colonies ~ it took decades to suppress the practice after the Revolution. Look up ABOLiTION OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA ~ there are several timelines that may prove useful in your pursuit of a question or Br'r Glover.
