The Patriots

The stories of the Black Patriots who served at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse have been uncovered through careful examination of Revolutionary War pension records, military documents, and archival research. Often the only surviving evidence of their service, these records have allowed historians to identify Patriots whose contributions were long overlooked. Researchers are working to enhance the knowledge base with records, artifacts, and oral histories from descendants. This archive is supported by those committed to telling a fuller American story.
