## Resource

Wilmington’s Revolutionary War legacy just got a major boost with the discovery of a mass grave holding 28 Rhode Island Regiment soldiers—many formerly enslaved, fighting for freedom—and up to 38 British troops wounded at Brandywine. These soldiers, treated in Wilmington after Yorktown, were buried here in the 1800s, their story long forgotten until now. This find spotlights Wilmington’s overlooked role in the Revolution and honors the bravery of African American fighters. A commemorative marker will be unveiled in September, with hopes of UK and Rhode Island dignitaries joining Delaware leaders to honor this shared history.
