The Black Soldiers Of The Revolutionary War.
The Revolutionary war and the War of 1812, was not only fought by the Whites but Blacks as well, there were hundreds if not thousands in the ranks. The south was against it while the north was for it. It is not known how many Blacks were in the Revolutionary war as race was not recorded on the rosters. This would change in the war of 1812, all races were recorded. I could write a book on the inn’s and out’s on why the blacks should or should not be allowed to fight. But I will not go into it here, instead I well list some of the Black soldiers.
--------------------------
Ebenezer Hill, a slave at Stonington, Conn., who served throughout the war, and who took part in the battles of Saratoga and Stillwater, and witnessed the surrender of Burgoyne.
------------------
Prince Whipple acted as bodyguard to General Whipple, one of Washington’s Aids. Prince is the Negro seen on horseback in the engraving of Washington crossing the Delaware, again pulling the stroke oar in the boat which Washington crossed in.
------------------
At the storming of fort Griswold Major Montgomery was lifted upon the walls of the fort by his soldiers, and called upon the Americans to surrender. John Freeman, a negro soldier, with his pike, pinned him dead to the earth. Among the American soldiers who were massacred by the British, After the surrender of the fort, were two negro soldiers, Lambo Latham and Jordan Freeman.
-----------------------
Quack Matrick, a negro, fought through the Revolutionary war, as a soldier, for which he was pensioned.
---------------------
Jonathan Overtin, was at the battle of Yorktown.
---------------------
Samuel Charlton was born in the state of New Jersey, a slave, in the family of Mr. M.,, who owned, also, other members belonging to his family. All residing in the English neighborhood. During the progress of the war, he was placed by his master ( as a substitute for himself ) in the army then in New Jersey, as a teamaster in baggage train. He was in active service at the battle of Monmouth, not only witnessing, but taking a part in, the great struggle of the day.
He was also in several other engagements in different sections of that part of the state. He was a great admirer of General Washington, and was, at one time, attached to his baggage train, and received the General’s commendation for his courage and devotion to the cause of liberty.
Samuel Charlton was about fifteen or seventeen years of age when placed in the army, for which his master rewarded him with a silver dollar. At the expiration of his time, he was returned to his master, to serve again in bondage, after having toiled, fought and bled for liberty in common with the regular soldiery. Mr. M., at his death, by will, liberated his slaves and provided a pension for Charlton to be paid during his life.
------------------
“James Easton, of Bridgewater, a colored man, participated in the erection of the fortifications on Dorchester Heights, under the command of Washington, which the nex morning so greatly surprised the British soldiers then encamped in Boston.”
--------------------------
Among the brave blacks who fought in the battles for American liberty was Major Jeffrey a Tennesseean who, during the campaign of Major-General Andrew Jackson in Mobile, filled the place of “regular” among the soldiers. In the charge made by General Stump against the enemy, the Americans were repulsed and thrown into disorder, Major Stump being forced to retire in a manner by no means desirable, under circumstances.
Major Jeffrey who was but a common, soldier, seeing the condition of his comrades, and comprehending the disastrous results about to befall them, rushed forward, mounted a horse, took command of the troops, and by an heroic effort, rallied them to the charge completely routing the enemy, who left the American masters of the field. He at once received from the General the title of “Major,” though he could not, according to the American policy so commission him.
To the day of his death, he was known by that title in Nashville, where he resided, and the circumstances which entitle him to it were constantly the subject of popular conversation. Major Jeffrey was highly respected by the whites generally, and revered, in his own neighborhood, by all colored people who knew him.
A few years later receiving an indignity from a common ruffan, he was forced to strike him in self defense; for which act, in accordance with the laws of slavery in that, as well as many other of the slave states, he was compelled to received on his naked person, nine and thirty lashes with a raw hide! This, at the age of seventy odd, after the distinguished services rendered his country, probably when the white ruffian for whom he was tortured was unable to raise an arm in it’s defense, was more then he could bear; it broke his heart, and he sank to rise no more, till summoned by the blast, of the last trumpet to stand on the battle field of general resurrection.
---------------------------
James Armisted during the war acted as a scout and spy for LaFayette during his campaign in Virginia, and at one time give information of an intended surprise to be made upon the forces of the Marquis, thereby saving probably a rout of the army. Armisted after the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, was returned to his master three years after the close of the war. He was manumitted by especial act of the Virginia Legislatures, whose attention was called to the worthiness of the service rendered by Armisted.

Peter Salem.
I kind of remember reading something about Peter Salem when I was in High School but that’s been a good 45, years ago. Then today I ran a cross a site with a copy of a book called; ( The Black Phalanx, A History of the negro soldier of the United States.) written by Joseph T. Wilson, 1888. I did some research and found a lot is on the internet about him. I found him very interesting and decided I would like to have a page on my web site.
-----------------
Peter Salem, once a slave, fought side by side in the ranks with white soldiers, when the British Pitcairn mounted the redoubt, upon that memorable occasion shouting “The Day is Ours! “ Peter Salem poured the contents of his gun into that officers body killing him instantly, and checking temporarily the advance of the British.
***************
Major Pitcairn, caused the first effusion of blood at Lexington. In that battle his horse was shot under him, while he was separated from his troops. With presence of mind he feigned himself slain; his pistols were taken from his hostlers, and he was left for dead, when he seized the opportunity and escaped.
***************
A Biographical account of Peter Salem is given in the following newspaper extract.
“April 1882, the town of Framingham to place a memorial stone over the grave of Peter Salem, alias Salem Middlesex, whose last resting place in the old burail ground an Framingham centre has been unmarked for years. For this purpose $150, was appropriated by the town. The committee in charge of the matter has placed a neat granite memorial over his grave, and it bears the following inscription: “Peter Salem, a solider of the revolution, Died Aug. 16, 1816. Concord, Bunker Hill, Saratoga. Erected by the town 1882.”
Peter Salem was the colored man who particularly distinguished himself in the revolutionary war by shooting Major Pitcairn at the battle of Bunker Hill, as he was mounting a redoubt and shouting “This day is ours!” this being the time when Pitcairn fall back into the arms of his son, and tenderly bore him to the boats.
A contribution was made in the army for the colored soldier, and he was presented to Washington as having performed this feat.
Peter Salem served faithfully in the war for seven years in the companies of minute men under Captain John Nixon and Captain Simon Edgell of Framingham, and came out of it unharmed. He was a slave, and was owned originally, by Captain Jeremiah Becknap of Framingham, being sold by him to Major Lawson Buckminster of that town, he becoming a freeman when he joined the army. Salem was born in Framingham, and in 1783, married Katie Benson, Granddaughter of Nero living for a time near what is now States mustered field. He removed to Leicester after the close of the war. His last a bode in that town being a cabin on the road leading from Leicester to Auburn. He was removed to Framingham, where he had gained a settlement and there died.

George B. Halsted, was of Newark New Jersey, was a soldier and a Assistant Adjutant General to General Christopher C. Augur… Mr. Halsted also give a statement about two other New Jersey soldiers and how he felt about prison life and the war, which reads;
“of many Union men, whose only crime was refusal to join in treason against the United States, I recall a father, quite old, and his two sons, about middle age, names forgotten. They were originally from the North; residence for many years near Norfolk, Virginia. It was painful to see that old man suffering in that confined, over crowded room, with so little of food to nourish him, and clothing day or night.
The heroism which could endure for months and months, ( then notice of such cases had not been taken by our government), with little prospect of release, except by swearing allegiance to the bogus and traitor government of that damnable miscreant and villain, Jeff Davis, and his equally detestable compeers. This courage and heroism I felt was more worthy of protection by our government then any I could exhibit as a soldier.
Yet those men remained in that prison long after we were paroled. Others suffering for the same were there, I will state their names; First Lieutenant William B. Hatch, Fourth New Jersey Volunteers, and Colonel James H. Simpson, a graduate of West Point and Major William Birney and others of the Fourth New Jersey, were in apartments appropriated to officers.”

James A. Young, African American-Civil War-Navy.
James A. Young, was a African American who was born at Campbells Point, Maryland. While at New York he enlisted in the United States Navy, on September 7, 1861, at the age of 42, his Height was 5'7", and his enlistment was for three years. His Rating was Landsman ( New recruit ), his ship was the steamer Valley City. He boarded the steamer Valley City on September 13, 1861, the ship soon sailed for North Carolina to join the North Atlantic blockading Squadron. On February 9, 1862, at 8 o’clock p.m. the steamer valley City, came to anchor 17 miles below Elizabeth City. On the morning of the 10th. They upped anchor and headed for Elizabeth City, as they neared the city they were fired upon and a battle soon ensued. During the battle James, who was now rated as a Officers Cook, was severely injured. The records give no information on what happen to James after the battle, but he is found on the muster roll, of the steamer Valley City, for December 31, 1862, after that no record is found.
Here is the report of Lieutenant J. C. CHAPLIN, on the attack on Elizabeth City, and the part the Steamer Valley City, took in it.
UNITED STATES STEAMER VALLEY CITY, Off Elizabeth. City, .N C., February 10, 1862.
SIR: I respectfully beg to submit the following report of the proceedings of this vessel in the action off this city on this day: After steaming up the river until 8 o’clock yesterday evening, I came to anchor with the other flotilla about seventeen miles below Elizabeth City.
February 10.—At 6.30 a. m. got under way in obedience to signal, and stood up the river, in company with the rest of the flotilla. When nearing the approaches of the city, received the fire of a rebel battery on shore. I immediately manned my port battery, and kept up a brisk return of the fire. A steamer and schooner, bearing the rebel flag, opened fire on our starboard bow; returned their fire with my starboard battery. A shell from the enemy passing through both my boats, rendered them entirely unfit for service.
Upon signal “make a dash at the enemy,” increased the speed, and fired several brisk broadsides at the enemy’s battery. A shell from the shore penetrated the side and passed through the magazine, exploding outside the screen on the berth-deck. Several of the powder divisions were severely scorched, the protecting bulkheads were torn to pieces, and the forward part of the berth-deck set on fire by the explosion. Ordered the pumps to be manned, and speedily got the fire subdued. In forty minutes from the commencement of the action, came to anchor within the precincts of Elizabeth City.
I take pleasure in again bearing testimony to the gallant conduct of the officers and crew of this vessel, and particularly I desire to bring under your notice the cool intrepidity and thorough practical seamanship displayed by master’s mate, J. A. J. Brooks, in marneuvring this vessel while under the hottest of the enemy’s fire; also to the undaunted presence of mind of the gunner’s mate, John Davis, who, while at his station in the magazine, when the shell penetrated the side and ignited the berth-deck, as above reported, did cover a barrel of powder with his own person, thereby preventing an explosion, while at the same time passing powder, providing for the gun divisions on the upper deck.
I beg to enclose the surgeon’s report of the casualties during the day.
1 am, sir, very respectfully, &e.,
J. C. CHAPLIN, Lieutenant Commanding.
