And don't forget the 1840s and 50s. Incredible to find out that a book written and published in 1855, CPAR (Colored People of the Revolution) describes dozens and dozens of known black Americans, actual real patriots, who fought in the American Revolution. And what do think the federal government did them after fighting in that war FOR America?

Paid them pension of course. What?! True stories and documentation by a black American historian/hero with an introduction by H.B Stowe. So what did the Southerns do when black Americans returned home from WWII? Hung about 5 or 6 a year for the first two years. Things have changed. In some ways, they've gotten worse. The Good Fight is never over.
