This all comes as a surprise to me too. I had no idea that many more slaves fought alongside the Redcoats than the rebels.
What really came as a shock was that Davy Crockett wasn't the king of the wild frontier. Fuck those Hollywood types!
I suppose it's a case of the victor always writing the history, concealing the inconvenient facts in the process. Ain't it ever the case.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
