Loyal to Liberty, 2022

This is my interpretation of The Ethiopian Regiment out of Virginia made up of approximately 300 formerly enslaved Black Americans who fought on the side of the British during the revolutionary war. In 1775 serving under Lord Dunmore, Royal Governor of Virginia who issued a proclamation offering freedom to all slaves of revolutionaries (Americans) masters. Despite serving under the British, the Ethiopian Regiment was not loyal to a people, country, nor a king but to liberty.
