This episode featuring author Andrew Lawler will explore a lesser-known chapter of American history where enslaved people aligned with the British crown during the American Revolution.
At the start of the American Revolution, Black men took up arms to achieve freedom–by fighting for King George III. Hear how the people owned by patriots nearly squelched the Revolution in its cradle.
Andrew Lawler is a journalist who has written for The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Geographic, Smithsonian, and many other publications. His latest book–which the Times calls “absorbing”–is A Perfect Frenzy: A Royal Governor, His Black Allies, and the Crisis that Spurred the American Revolution. For more, see www.andrewlawler.com
