Totally agreed, we still have to fight for equality, white people, black people, women, men... we are all the same!👏

[John Jay @John_Jay1232]

Although we have gone through this, we still have a war to fight, the battle against slavery, enough of belittling others for their race, we are all equal.✊🏿✊🏻🇺🇸

[Peter Salem Poor @PeterSalemPoor]

Today I’m grateful that in 1769 I was able to afford to buy my freedom and be able to come to war.
I left my wife and son at home and came for a cause: the freedom of the American people. A freedom that today in the battle of Saratoga we have proven to deserve.

[Peter Salem Poor @PeterSalemPoor]

We finally have our flag!🇺🇸

[Peter Salem Poor @PeterSalemPoor]

And about dozen free African Americans participated in the battle!!✊🏿

[Peter Salem Poor @PeterSalemPoor]

Guys I just want to remember you about the Bunker Hill battle of Boston (June 17, 1775), we did it great. Although we lost, we created a lot of casualties on the British side, which created repercussions and helped win the Siege of Boston.

[Peter Salem Poor @PeterSalemPoor]

It should be noted that I am proud that I was the one who mortally wounded Major John Pitcairn in the British infantry.

@John_Jay1232 That’s it!! We just want to be free!🙌🏿🙌🏻
