In 1497, John Cabot (Giovanni Cabotto) set off on a voyage to Asia. On his way he, like Christopher Columbus, ran into an island off the coast of North America. As a result, Cabot became the second European to discover North America, thus laying an English claim which would be followed up only after an interval of over one hundred years. With such an interlude, his voyage seems mainly of academic interest. Although it is true that prior discovery was often used as a justification for colonization,1 the great amount of time between discovery and colonizing reduces Cabots importance to a minimum in this regard. However, this is not at all to say that Cabot was unimportant. In becoming the first European to land on these shores since the time of Leif Erikson, Cabot opened up the Grand Banks to a steady encroachment of European fishermen, thus paving the way for eventual colonization.

The English revolution was a series of wars and fights between the government. NCE the war against the King had begun, divisions arose inside and outside Parliament as to the mode of conducting it. The Cavaliers, as the troops of the Royalist gentry came to be called, had certain military advantages. The Roundheads (there is a social sneer in the name) were strongest in the towns, and though the burghers brought wealth to the cause, they were not at first experienced fighting men. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, relied mainly on the north and west of England, economically backward and badly policed; they, with their tenants and dependents, were used to hard riding and fighting.

The American Revolution, also known as the war for American Independence, was the conflict between the thirteen British colonies in North America and their mother country Britain. The American Revolution began on April 19, 1775 and ended on September 3, 1783. African Americans participated in the revolution from the beginning. In a Colonial Army of 300,000, approximately 5,000 African American soldiers fought on the side of American independence. The Continental Army introduced African Americans into its ranks because it lacked the necessary white man power to prosecute a war against the British. Slaves were excluded under the edict of the Continental Congress, and only free men were allowed to enlist. This rule was often ignored due to enlistment quotas and slaves were enlisted to fill the vacant slots in the regiments despite their official exclusion. When the British offered slaves their freedom in return for taking up arms for the Crown, thousands of African Americans flocked to the side of the British.
