Chapter 1. "AFRAID OF HAVING THEIR BRAINS ADDLED WITH THE NOISE OF THE CANNON:" THE BATTLE FOR HAMPTON -- Chapter 2. "A DAMNED, INFERNAL, DIABOLICAL PROCLAMATION:" KEMP'S LANDING AND THE RISE OF THE ETHIOPIAN REGIMENT -- Chapter 3. "UNFRIENDLY TO AMERICAN LIBERTY:" THE BATTLE OF GREAT BRIDGE AND BEYOND -- Chapter 4. "THE DETESTED TOWN OF NORFOLK IS NO MORE!" THE FALL OF NORFOLK -- Chapter 5.

"WITH SLAVERY AND TYRANTS TO OBEY:" REVOLUTIONARY VETERANS AND THE ETHIOPIAN REGIMENT.

This book focuses on the American Revolution's first Black soldiers. While Patriots in New England dumped tea in Boston Harbor and fought British Regulars at Lexington and Concord, something else was going on further south at the start of the Revolutionary War. In Hampton Roads, Virginia, enslaved people understood that the emerging conflict presented an opportunity to challenge their unfreedom and to fight for liberty for themselves. With the help of the Royal Governor of Virginia, Lord Dunmore, thousands of slaves ran away, took up arms, and formed the all-Black Ethiopian Regiment in a new military experiment in 1775 and 1776. In exchange for their freedom from slavery, slaves would join the Ethiopian Regiment and test the boundaries of Revolutionary American society. They would also ensure that the Revolutionary War would become something greater than independence from Great Britain: they would ensure that the war would be about slavery itself. Justin Iverson is Adjunct Professor of History at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. He received his PhD at Northern Illinois University in 2020 while studying slavery and resistance in early America and the Atlantic world. He is also the author of Rebels in Arms: Black Resistance and the Fight for Freedom in the Anglo-Atlantic (2022), as well as several articles and book chapters.
