Fifteen-year-old James Forten ached with hunger as he strained to see anything

in the darkness of the prison ship. The American vessel (ship) he was fighting on had been captured by the British in the Revolutionary War. Instead of fighting for America, he was fighting for his life.

The young African-American knew he didn’t have to be there. The British captain who had captured the Royal Louis had offered to send him to England and pay for his education. But there was a catch: Forten would have to promise to give up his American citizenship the act of belonging to a country or community.

He refused.

Forten told the captain he could never turn against his country. Even though most of his people were either slaves or considered second-class citizens, Forten encouraged blacks to show their patriotism or devotion to their country. He hoped they would then be accepted as true Americans.
