They helped win the war from British rule

There were more than 5,000 black patriots fighting for independence in the American Revolution. African Americans fought in every major battle of the war.

Hi Anastasia, I did a post on our non-fiction book(s) today but I still can’t seem to e-mail you. I think if I had your actual e-mail address then I could cut and paste into my e-mail but it just won’t load from your link for some reason.
Anyway, here is my post http://dumboxacademy.homeschooljournal.net/2008/02/04/facts-first-nonfiction-monday-2/
Congratulations on becoming a Book Links blog! This is terrific news.
