Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information From the first upheavals of the American Revolution to the beginning of the nineteenth century, African Americans helped shaped the course of American history. During America’s War for Independence, African Americans, both enslaved and free, fought in all the major campaigns of the Continental Army. Leaders of the anti-slavery movement recognized and discussed the inherent contradiction in African American participation in the War and used it to advance moral arguments against slavery: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...” In addition to the war effort, peoples of African origin made remarkable contributions to Revolutionary America in politics, the law, science, mathematics, literature, and elsewhere. African Americans and Revolutionary America gathers in a single place almost every known printed work about African Americans from the period, offering researchers multiple perspectives on the lives of Black Americans, the role of faith in African American communities, the growth of abolitionism, the institution of slavery, and the development of racial thought and racism. A curated collection that inspires new and exciting research opportunities This resource offers faculty and students context on the lives of Black Americans during the Revolutionary period in America. Readex has assembled more than 700,000 pages of primary materials sourced from premier repositories, including the renowned Afro-Americana Collection of The Library Company of Philadelphia and the Evans and Shaw-Shoemaker collections from the American Antiquarian Society.
