This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1855. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER I. MASSACHUSETTS. CRISPUS ATTUCKS-- COLORED AMERICANS ON BUNKER HILL -- SEY MOUR BURR JEREMY JONAH --A BRAVE COLORED ARTILLERIST -- GOVERNOR HANCOCK'S FLAG -- BIG DICK -- PRIMUS HALL-- JAMES AND HOSEA EASTON -- JOB ― LEWIS QUACKS MATRICK ―JACK GROVE -- BOSSON WRIGHT -- PETITIONS OF COLORED MEN IN OLD COLONY TIMES ― LEGISLATIVE ACTION ON SLAVERY -- MUM BETT GOV. HANCOCK AGAINST KIDNAPPING -- PAUL CUFFE -- ETC. ETC. On the 5th of March, 1851, the following petition was presented to the Massachusetts Legislature, asking an appropriation of $1,500, for the erection of a monument to the memory of Crispus Attucks, the first martyr in the Boston Massacre of March 5th, 1770 : -- To the Honorable the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Massachusetts, in General Court assembled: The undersigned, citizens of Boston, respectfully ask that an appropriation of fifteen hundred dollars may be made by your Honorable Body, for a monument to be erected to the memory of Crispus Attucks, the first martyr of the American Revolution. WILLIAM C. NELL, CHARLES LENOX REMOND, HENRY WEEDEN, LEWIS HAYDEN, FREDERICK G. BARBADOES, JOSHUA B. SMITH, LEMUEL BURR. Boston, Feb. 22d, 1851. This petition was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs, who granted a hearing to the petitioners, in whose behalf appeared Wendell Phillips, Esq., and William C. Nell, but finally submitted an adverse report, on the ground that a boy, Christopher Snyder, was previously killed. Admitting this fact, (which was the result of a very different scene from that in which Attucks fell,) it does not offset the claims of Attucks, and those who made the 5th of March famous in our annals -- the day which history selects as the dawn of the American Revolution.

The American Revolution was a political upheaval that took place between 1765 and 1783 during which the Thirteen American Colonies broke from the British Empire and formed an independent nation, the United States of America. The American Revolution was the result of a series of social, political, and intellectual transformations in American society, government and ways of thinking. Starting in 1765 the Americans rejected the authority of Parliament to tax them without elected representation; protests continued to escalate, as in the Boston Tea Party of 1773, and the British imposed punitive laws—the Intolerable Acts—on Massachusetts in 1774. In 1774 the Patriots suppressed the Loyalists and expelled all royal officials. Each colony now had a new government that took control. The British responded by sending combat troops to re-establish royal control. Through the Second Continental Congress, the Patriots fought the British in the American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783).

In 1855 a book was published detailing the heroic men and women who helped America become free. It showed how many Africans, many of whom were slaves excelled in society and became patriots during the war. This book will open your eyes to many Americans who were free men and despite being forced to America, became true patriots in their own rights and were Americans. However, this book has become lost as is has become a forgotten part of history. Many of the facts contained within this book may have been lost if not for the heroic actions of the author who wrote down the historical aspects which today are no longer being taught in the classrooms. If you read this book, it will open your eyes to a history that hasn't been told in nearly 150 years.
