'Black Patriots' Were Heroes Of The Revolution — But Not The History Books

On why we don't know these stories

Well, we don't know the stories already because people who write history books, or who have written most of the history books have focused on what European Americans thought, and what their objectives were, and what they did to make those objectives become real. And anybody who was not European was not seen as being worth depicting, because their stake in it seemed to be non-existent. This nation was founded by white people, for white people. At the time, blacks were not allowed citizenship.

Black people have always been featured in history books since the sixties, contrary to the narrative.

Several years ago Glen Beck of all people shed light on this.

glinkens This was touched upon in the film The Patriot. When some slaves are offered a chance to serve the British Army. And if you look closely at the beginning of one of the big battles, you can see a black man among the British soldiers.

Where can we see this documentary? Why is that not in the article?

Great documentary. I hope this inspires you to do more.

Tom Bottmore.! Remember him when issues of history crop up.!

Yes, we learned about Crispus Attucks and yes, I’m a boomer.

When is the show airing?

NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

About time! So many people that were looked down upon deserve their stories told, they made this country!

Bless you Kareem.

A whole bunch of native people died fighting that war as well. They have been written out of it as well. Black cowboys... they got written out too... Lots of aspects of American history done by people of color have been written out of it.

True.

I wish more black people with money would start producing accurate representations of history... It's been whitewashed and idealized for far too long.

Kareem is an American hero.

And that's his dopey and racially charged nonsensical opinion (as he draws attention to this). It's a free country and anybody is allowed to publish what they wish if it's accurate and cited.
