During the Revolutionary War, enslaved Africans “revolted” by siding with the British against their masters. Many of them were induced to “betray” the Patriots by promises of freedom that were fulfilled by their removal to regions like Nova Scotia, Sierra Leone, and, Trinidad and Tobago.

==== The Gabriel Prosser Conspiracy ====
Slave revolts continued into the nineteenth century as the slave regime intensified after the establishment of the United States, founded on a constitution that protected that regime. Though gradual emancipation laws transformed the experience in the North, slavery actually expanded in the South and West. In 1800, a major conspiracy exemplified these changes. In Richmond, Virginia, a city that employed enslaved Africans as laborers, a conspiracy led by Gabriel Prosser sought to undermine slavery in that state.
