AmRev 250 no. 1 — William Flora
Throughout 2026, I will be drawing a series of various American Revolution figures, events, and battles. The purpose of this project is to illustrate the many lived perspectives and experiences of people 250 years ago, and the importance of confronting the whole story: the good, the bad, the inspiring, and the tragic.First in this series is William Flora! Flora was a free Black man who went on to serve in a Virginia militia during the American Revolution, siding with the Patriots. During the revolution, many free and enslaved Black people chose to support the British due to various promises of better treatment and, if fortunate, freedom. Flora's reasoning for choosing the Patriot side is unknown, and he fought in the American Revolutionary War for at least three years. During his service, he became most known and respected for his defense of Fort Murray in the Battle of Great Bridge (December 9th, 1775). During the battle, Flora remained as the last sentinel on one of the final defensive fronts, even as British troops quickly approached. He would also serve in other famous battles such as the Battles of Brandywine, Monmouth, and Yorktown.After the war, Flora purchased land in Portsmouth, Virginia, becoming one of the first free Black people in the state to own town property. He remained a respected member of the community and owned a successful business up until his passing in 1819.Flora is one of the many people of color that participated in the American Revolution, succeeding and embracing ideas of freedom with immense courage.
