He also fought for the British during the American Revolution. Richard Peirpoint made a petitioned to create a company of all black soldiers. Black soldiers who fought for the British during the war faced discrimination even though they were free. Black people also served as pioneers and instead of fighting, they worked to help rebuild bridges and roads and repair forts for the military.
