The Founding Father They Don't Teach You About
The British government vowed freedom to enslaved people if they could escape and take up arms against their Patriot enslavers.

That man would be Thomas Peters, a former prince who escaped enslavement in North Carolina.
The Indigenous Rebellion That Terrified the Colonies
King Philip's War was the deadliest conflict of the colonial period. What scared the colonists most was the sophistication of Philip's forces. Indigenous warriors used guerrilla tactics that the English, trained in European-style warfare, were completely unprepared for. So while the colonists were the ones who brought guns to the New World, King Philip's forces were already better at using them.
