The era of the American Revolution was one of violent and unpredictable social, economic, and political change, and the dislocations of the period were most severely felt in the South. Sylvia Frey contends that the military struggle there involved a triangle--two sets of white belligerents and approximately 400,000 slaves. She reveals the dialectical relationships between slave resistance and Britain's Southern Strategy and between slave resistance and the white independence movement among Southerners, and shows how how these relationships transformed religion, law, and the economy during the postwar years.

A very detailed work about Africans and American Blacks during the American Revolution era. This work is written for scholars not for the casual reader. It is jam packed with details and facts. Frey mentions the smallpox that Fenn mentions but on a much smaller scale. What is complicated about this book is that she gives numbers but without giving contrasting numbers it is difficult to understand scale. Religion was extremely important to Blacks, it gave them a chance to bond in social groups. In this way it gave them freedom of a kind. This book combined with lectures gave me a new prospective of slavery and the struggles they went through.
