Wake Wednesday 250: Black Revolutionary Soldiers - Lesson Plan as Historical Context

Sources are wherever you find them and this is an unexpected one. While researching John Chavis' Revolutionary War history to find some information, I happened on this America 250 document prepared for school children. It included information on John Chavis as well as several other Black Patriots.

In addition to John Chavis, you will find resource links and lesson plans for:

Edward “Ned” Griffin

Austin Dabney

Isaac Carter

Isaac Hammond

Thomas Peters

The resource links include many other stories of Black Patriots beyond this focus group. Take some time to dig in. 

Granted, this is not a traditional resource. You may want to read over it and sit with it awhile. You may find inspiration for researching another Black Patriot or you may the fortunate one to find your own ancestor listed here. Do take a look and mine it for the context clues it may provide!

The Lesson Plan is available here - Shining a Light on Untold History:North Carolina’s Black Revolutionary War Soldiers

It is a project of the Isaac Carter Patriot Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.
