The motivation that most accurately reflects what drove many African American soldiers to fight with the Patriots during the Revolutionary War is the hope that the war would also bring an end to slavery. Many believed that by supporting the fight for freedom and independence, they could also advocate for their own freedom and the freedom of others.
