Haitian involvement in American revolution: the Battle of Savannah

Long before the Haitian Revolution would see its first uprising in the city of Cap, men from the French colony of Saint Domingue were fighting elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere. This included participation in the U.S. fight for independence.

Troops from the French Colony recruited for Savannah
In 1779, coming off a glorious victory off the coast of the Caribbean Island of Grenada, French Admiral Count Charles-Henri d’Estaing organized a volunteer corps of free men of color to travel to the rebelling British colony of Georgia. Their objective was to lay siege to the important southern port town of Savannah, held by British troops. Rebelling South Carolina Governor John Rutledge and General Benjamin Lincoln had invited Comte d’Estaing, believing French involvement in Georgia was the only way to save the colony from falling completely into British hands.
