Answer:

Most black soldiers were scattered throughout the Continental Army in integrated infantry regiments, where they were often assigned to support roles as wagoners, cooks, waiters or artisans. ... African Americans also served as gunners, sailors on privateers and in the Continental Navy during the Revolution.
