Final answer:
b. False
Free and enslaved Black people chose different sides in the Revolutionary War, some siding with the Patriots and others with the Loyalists for varied reasons, including the promise of freedom by the British. It is false to say that all tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy maintained neutrality; the Confederacy was divided.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that Free Blacks chose the side of the Patriots in the Revolutionary War is not entirely accurate as it oversimplifies the complex choices faced by African Americans during the conflict. In the Revolutionary War, both free and enslaved Black people made individual choices; some chose to fight for the American Patriots, while others joined the British side, often influenced by the British promise of freedom for those who joined their cause.
This is demonstrated by historical figures such as Boyrereau Brinch and Boston King, who fought for opposing sides in the war. While the British made significant offers of freedom, not all enslaved people fought in the war, nor did they only fight to gain freedom. Decisions were complex and based on a variety of factors.
The question about whether All of the tribes in the Iroquois Confederacy maintained neutrality during the Revolutionary War can be answered as false. The Iroquois Confederacy was split during the war, with some tribes siding with the Patriots and others with the British.
