Ann Bates was a schoolteacher in Philadelphia, and a loyalist spy for the British. She joined Henry Clinton's espionage sometime in 1778. As she was a spy, she posed as a peddler, selling thread, needles, knives, and utensils to American camp members. She travels through American camps selling these goods and looking and recording American weapons, men, anything that would be of good information for her leader. When her goods were all sold she went back to a British camp and reported all of her findings. While returning from spying on American troops Bates had been arrested, searched, and imprisoned for one day and night. Then released. She reported to Major Drummond and was sent out to spy again on July 29, 1778. While spying she was asked to look for a disloyal American troop. She had found one named Chambers. He shared important information to Bates. Though she found out that he had died 3 weeks later. Bates gathered information that American troops were headed to Rhode Island. She inaccurately reported it to Clinton on August 6, 1778. She told him that the troops had not yet gone to Rhode Island. Bates went to Washington's headquarters in the White Plains, NY, she overheard one of his aides say that boats were being prepared for landing on Long Island. Bates went back to Clinton to report the information. That info influenced Clinton's decision to send more troops to defend Rhode Island, forcing American and French armies to withdraw from Newport on August 31. Then on May 12, 1780 Bates left Clinton's espionage ring and worked with her husband as a gun repairman with the British Army, in Charleston, South Carolina.

"take in a solider get one free"

no. Actually the French sided with the Americans.

Black soldiers served with valor at the battles of Lexington and Bunker Hill.

In November 1775, however, Congress decided to exclude blacks from future enlistment out of a fear that recent offers from the British would cause the loss of most of their slaves.

Lord Dunmore, the royal governor of Virginia, had promised freedom to any slaves who enlisted in the British army in April of 1775. Some eight hundred slaves took this offer, some wearing the emblem "Liberty to the Slaves" on their Redcoat uniforms. He was not the only person on the side of the crown to make this offer.

This offer and the exclusion of blacks by Congress from the rebel side was untenable.

By 1778, many states (including Virginia) agreed to grant freedom to slaves who served in the Revolutionary war. In the end, several thousand slaves won their freedom by serving on both sides of the War of Independence. Many other slaves were able to successfully Escape. It's estimated 50% of Georgia's slaves were able to achieve some sort of freedom and South Carolina's slave population was down 25%.

Ultimately, though, our freedom was granted in the constitution of "We the People" specifically to white men. While the word "slave" never appears in the original constitution, the 3/5th compromise does and the South was granted additional representation where by virtue of owing human beings an individual could yield additional voting power through their Representative. It would be 100 years until slaves were emancipated with the Thirteenth amendment and 3 years later for the Fourteenth amendment to dispose of the 3/5ths clause.
