Book Description
"One of the major virtues of Quarles's book is that it does not confine itself merely to [its] principal theme of Negroes as revolutionaries, but deals also with the Negroes who served with the British (mostly as laborers and a few as spies) and with those who were 'carried off' at the end of the war."-- New England Quarterly
From the Back Cover
Originally published by UNC Press in 1961, this classic work remains the most comprehensive history of the many and important roles played by African-Americans during the American Revolution. With this book, Benjamin Quarles added a new dimension to the military history of the Revolution and addressed for the first time the diplomatic repercussions created by the British evacuation of African Americans at the close of the war. The compelling narrative brings the Revolution to life by portraying how those tumultuous years were experienced by Americans at all levels of society.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 231 pp. Tightly bound.Corners not bumped. No ownership markings. Good dust jacket. This copy is the 1976 printing of the 1961 publication. The primary reason for the lower "good" rating for the jacket is because there are short edge tears and rubbing to the extremities. The jacket is black with blue and white type face. NOTE: There is erasable pencil notations and underlining in the text. This copy is smyth sewn. Smyth sewing is a method of bookbinding where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread. Each folded signature is sewn together individually with multiple stitches and then joined with other signatures to create the complete book block. This is the traditional and best method of bookbinding. Seller Inventory # 030906
