The African Americans some of them fought on the British side because they gave the African Americans freedom.
- The man on the left is a French commander. In fact without the French we probably would have never won the revolutionary war. The French supplied us with every thing. They gave us soldiers, gun powder, and gave us money. The French basically lost everything. They gave us all they had. The man in the middle is George Washington, he was the leader and commander of the colonies. Without his help as well the colonies might have never won. He used great fighting tactics and new what to do in tough situations. The Native Americans did not do much for the colonies. Most of them stayed neutral but some of them did fight for the colonies and some of them fought for Britain.
