Arnold, in his "History of Rhode Island, " vol. Ii. , pp. 427, 428, describing the "Battle of Rhode Island, " fought August 29th, 1178, says: "A third time the enemy, with desperate courage and increased strength, attempted to assail the redoubt, and would have carried it, but for the timely aid of two Continental battalions despatched by Sullivan to support his almost exhausted troops. It was in repelling these furious onsets, that the newly raised black regiment, under Col. Green, distinguish...ed itself by deeds of desperate valor. Posted behind a thicket in the valley, they three times drove back the Hessians, who charged repeatedly down the hill to dislodge them. " On March 29th, 1779, we find in the Secret Journals of Congress, vol. I. , pp. 107-110 : "Resolved, That it be recommended to the States of South Carolina and Georgia, if they shall think the same expedient, to take measures immediately for raising three thousand able-bodied Negroes. " That the said Negroes be formed into separate corps, as battalions, according to the arrangements adopted for the main army, to be com- manded by white commissioned and non-commissioned officers.
