SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) During the winter at Valley Forge, from 
1777–1778, the Continental Army had difficulty re-
cruiting the necessary quotas of men set by the Con-
gress. 
(2) At the same time, the State of Rhode Island 
was ordered to supply two battalions while faced 
with the occupation of the City of Newport by the 
British. 
(3) In January 1778, at the urging of Brigadier 
General James Varnum, General George Washington 
wrote to Governor Nicholas Cooke of the State of 
Rhode Island requesting assistance recruiting men 
for the Continental Line. 
(4) On February 14, 1778, the Rhode Island 
General Assembly voted to allow the enlistment of 
‘‘every able-bodied negro, mulatto, or Indian man 
slave’’. 
(5) In addition, the Rhode Island General As-
sembly provided that any enlisted slave ‘‘upon his 
passing muster before Colonel Christopher Greene, 
be immediately discharged from the service of his 
master or mistress, and be absolutely free as though 
he had never been incumbered and be incumbered 
with any kind of servitude or slavery’’.
