Answer 1

The most significant motivation for many African American soldiers to fight in the Revolutionary War with the Patriots was the hope that the war would also bring an end to slavery. While some might have been motivated by the prospect of achieving military ranks or fear of repercussions for not fighting, the desire for freedom and the opportunity to challenge their enslaved status was a powerful motivating factor.
