Explain why free and enslaved African Americans fought for and against the Patriots

Social Studies
1 answer:
Leviafan [203]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

During the Revolutionary war there were both Black Loyalists and Black Patriots. The aims of each group however were similar in that both the Black Patriots and the Black Loyalists were generally interested in securing their freedom after the war.

Explanation:

The Black Loyalist: Compared to many Western powers at the time, England was one of the first countries to have a strong abolitionist movement and there were societies that wrote hundreds of petitions in London and elsewhere in England who were looking to put an end to the slave trade and to disallow it legally. This was one of the points of contention with the colonists in the United States, especially those in the Southern states that became dependent on slave labor from Africa to help make the plantations productive. Therefore it makes sense that some Black Americans felt that fighting for the English might be the best option for securing their freedom or maintaining their free status. Indeed, there was an official offer of freedom for service on the part of the English government during the war.

The Black Patriots: Likewise, some Black Americans were convinced that fighting on behalf of the Patriots would assure their personal freedom because to them it looked likely that England would lose the war. There are said to have been close to 5000 African American Patriot soldiers in the Continental Army. One of the most famous martyrs is Crispus Attucks who died at the hands of the British during the Boston Massacre in 1770.

explain how american colonial history would have been different if the british had not passed the intolerable acts
chubhunter [2.5K]
The intolerable acts were one of the biggest causes of the American Revolution, if they had not been passed there is a good chance America would not have revolted against the British, or at least would not have done it when they did. Colonial times specifically would most likely not have had the turmoil of the Revolutionary War and all that went with it.

Simone Biles
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

stand for and believes in: Over the years Simone had been sturggling with self doubt, but she had soon become to be the person to believe in her own self. This self respect had allowed her to fly higher than she had ever gone. Simone and her family are said to be Catholic, no more information on that.

Lesson I learned: n/a (You can take a thing about Simone Biles and explain what you learned from it)

Challenges (hers): Simone Biles had been hospitalized for a year due to a kidney stone. Not only had she recovered successfully, but when she made her return she had gained 10 new medals.

5 life events : Simone was the first female U.S. gymnast to win four gold medals at a single games. Along with that Simone was the first gymnast to win three consecutive world all-around titles (throughout 2013-18). Simone first coach was named Aimee Boorman and she had trained Simone for 11 years to be exact. Simone however did not stay with her parents, as she was adopted by her grandparents with her sister(Andria) living in Texas. One of Simones recent acknowledgments was when she had taken a break of gymnastics, for her mental health. This was completely uncalled for as no athlete, on her level, had been know to take a “mental break”.

Education: Simone Biles at first was going to public school, but her parents felt she needed to go online to increase gymnastics training. She had started in 2012 and had finished in 2015, successfully.

Born: Simpne Biles was born in Columbus, OH

Explanation: I searched it all up, so it should be completely accurate.
