In 1850,a few Blacks left Halifax and sailed to Sierra Leone, which is found  in Africa. Due to this, the Black population diminished extremely. To follow in the footsteps of the Maroons, many more came to NS and disperset province wide. Since they arrived, the Revolutionary War started.  Men young and old wanted to enlist in the Army so that they can do pride for their beloved country and queen only many were rejected due to the basic  fact of their race. Some went to Sussex, NB to enlist there but the administration officer plainly said that they did not want to recruit them because that they did not want to have a "checker board army". These men were not about to give up, and that was when the No.1 Black Battalion  was formed in Pictou, NS.
