Out of dark and violent centuries, legends of a great leader arose. King Arthur became one of the most famous figures in British literature.

Both groups had much to gain, or lose, depending on which side won the war. Should they support the Americans fighting for independence, or support the British cause? This book explores through primary sources the amazing stories of African Americans and American Indians during the American Revolution.
