The Africans amongst us risked our lives for liberty, and yet had no assurance liberty would be ours; our pay, in may cases, came not to us, but to our owners—for it was reckoned that we belonged to them, and so our labor was theirs, so they should receive compensation for our absence from their farms, their dining-rooms, and their cellars. (4.9.12)
Clearly this whole war is unfair to the African slaves. Let's just add that this passage points out how much the war is also a job—an unpaid job—for the slaves. The American Revolution isn't a "cause" for them; they won't have that "cause" until the Civil War comes around.
