Revolutionary War Facts
The first man shot in the Boston Massacre was a black man named Crispus Attucks.
About 5,000 African American men and boys fought in the war.
George Washington rarely had even 15,000 men under his command at a time.
Washington did not receive pay for his military service.
Benjamin Franklin was able to get foreign support from France, Spain and the Netherlands, which helped weaken the British.
British soldiers called redcoats because of the color of their uniforms.
The largest city in America in 1775 was Philadelphia.
Boston and New York were the next largest cities.
Farming was the main occupation in the colonies.
Only a small amount of people lived in the cities.
About one third of the colonial people supported the king and thought of themselves as Loyalists.
About 100,000 Loyalists fled to Canada, England, and the Bahamas.
Even though Cornwallis surrendered to the Americans at Yorktown in 1781, the fighting lasted for two more years until the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783.
