In this battle, African Americans suffered more than 1,000 casualties. At the Battle of Bunker Hill, Salem Poor performed so well that fourteen officers sent a petition to the Massachusetts legislature declaring that he behaved like an experienced officer, as well as an excellent soldier and added that "a reward was due to so great and distinguished a character.

I will also talk about another great black hero in this war he's name is The protomartyr of the Revolutionary war was Crispus Attucks, a black who was the leader in the Boston massacre on that memorable 5th of March, 1770.
