DESCRIPTION:James Forten who is certified real\, unlike Crispus Atticks\
	,  is important because whenever a black person in the usa claims to have 
	connection to the united states of america from its infancy \, they can po
	int to james forten. But\, two key points must be comprehended alongside J
	ames Forten. James Forten was a big representative of blacks who fought fo
	r the creation of the usa WHILE blacks who fought for the creation of the 
	usa was the smallest minority in the black populace in the european coloni
	es that would become the usa. The black populace in the english colonies h
	ad three groups. Black enslaved to white= 90% majority\, these are a blend
	 of black people who hate whites to the core\, are afraid of whites to the
	 core\, while have no desire t exist aside whites. Segregationist + Sepera
	tist. Not merely wanting distance from whites segregation\, they want a wa
	ll to blockade any merger \, seperatist. Black free folk who fought agains
	t the creation of the usa- 8% minority\, black folk who are free or have r
	ecently escaped enslavement who don't like or trust whites\, but have a pa
	rticular distaste for whites in the usa and will aid whites from europe ag
	ainst whites from the usa\, with the promise of freedom.  At the end of th
	e war of cessation from the british empire\, britain was able to get these
	 people to freedom\, though many were recaptured or enslaved by whites thr
	oughout the larger battlefield. Black free folk who fought for the creatio
	n of the usa- 2% minority \, people like James Forten. What is my point? F
	rom the war of 1812 to the war between the states\, most black people have
	 an anti white + anti usa position in the usa or the european colonies tha
	t preceded. Black people in the usa to our forever dishonor\, keep present
	ing our history as akin to willing immigrants whether they be black or non
	 black. It isn't the case. https://aalbc.com/tc/events/event/587-the-ameri

	ican-revolution-pbs-documentary-episode-6/EXCERPT from 6Are we not sustain
	ed by the same power\, supported by the same food\, hurt by the same wound
	s\, pleased with the same delights\, and propagated by the same means?And 
	should we not then enjoy the same liberty and be protected by the same law
	s?♪ Some consider us as much property as a house or a ship and think how
	 anxious we must be to raise ourselves from this degrading state.James For
	ten.Narrator: James Forten was born free in Philadelphia.At 9\, he had bee
	n in the crowd at the Pennsylvania State House that heard the Declaration 
	of Independence read to the public for the very first time.Forten took the
	 promise of the Declaration to heart and never questioned whether its self
	-evident truths applied to him.♪ Now\, in the summer of 1781\, Forten wa
	s 14\, old enough to fight for his country.With his mother's permission\, 
	he went down to the docks\, signed on to a privateer\, and set out to sea.
	Forten was one of 20 men and boys of color in a crew of 200.For privateers
	 eager to attract volunteers\, race was no barrier.♪ His first voyage wa
	s a triumph\, but the second was a disaster.His ship was overtaken and cap
	tured by a British warship.♪ Once aboard\, the captain's son befriended 
	him\, and the captain offered to release him if he were willing to sail wi
	th the boy to England.Forten refused.He could not turn his back on his cou
	ntry.The art is from Portrait of Forten\, c. 1834\, by Robert Douglass J
