Leur méfiance s'estompe peu à peu en constatant sa redoutable efficacité. James leur glisse des informations sur la topographie de la région. Il aide les troupes à se déplacer discrètement, à éviter les pièges du terrain. Petit à petit, il entre dans les tentes des hauts gradés sans attirer l'attention. Là, derrière des cartes éparpillées, il enregistre de nouvelles données, cruciales pour le camp adverse. Ironie du sort, James se voit missionner afin d'infiltrer dans le rang des révolutionnaires. Armistead devient un agent double. Une aubaine, puisque cela facilite ses connexions avec l'armée continentale.

Let's celebrate James Armistead. A double agent in the revolutionary war that helped to secure the victory over the British. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/heyevette/message

Born around 1748 in New Kent, Va., Armistead was given permission by his master to join the revolutionary cause. Although many fought as soldiers, blacks, both free and enslaved were being used by the British and the Americans to gain intelligence against each other. Armistead, however, was used by both sides, making him a double-agent. In 1781, he joined the army and was put in service under the Marquis de Lafayette, who was desperately trying to fight the chaos caused in Virginia by turncoat soldier Benedict Arnold. His forces diminished by British Gen. Charles Cornwallis' troops, Lafayette needed reliable information about enemy movements. Armistead began his work posing as an escaped slave, entering Arnold's camp as an orderly and guide, then sent what he learned back to Lafayette. He later returned north with Arnold and was posted close enough to Cornwallis' camp to learn further details of British operations without being detected. By also being used as a British spy (who fed them inaccurate data), Armistead was able to travel freely between both sides. One day, he discovered that the British naval fleet was moving 10,000 troops to Yorktown, Va., making it a central post for their operation. Using the intricate details Armistead provided, Lafayette and a stunned, but relieved George Washington lay siege to the town. Concentrating both American and French forces, a huge blockade was formed, crippling the British military and resulting in their surrender on Oct. 19, 1781. Rex Ellis, vice president of Colonial Williamsburg's Historic Area, says Armistead's role was critical to the American victory. "If he had not given the information that he gave at the strategic time he did, they would not have had the intelligence to create the blockade that ended the war." Despite his critical actions, Armistead had to petition the Virginia legislature for manumission. Lafayette assisted him by writing a recommendation for his freedom, which was granted in 1787. In gratitude Armistead adopted Lafayette's surname and lived as a farmer in Virignia until his death in 1830. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/katherine-hutchinson-hayes/support

In this Episode, Abigail tells the story of James Armistead. Armistead was a Virginian slave who served as a double agent during the Revolutionary War. His allegiance however was to the Americans, and the intelligence he provided the Americans allowed them to be victorious.

During this message, we explore the concepts of slavery from a modern view as opposed to a biblical view. We also look deeply into our own nation's past, exploring little-known details about certain key figures in our history. Part 1 of this series talks about details from US history ranging from the time of Christopher Columbus, to the Civil War.

During the Revolutionary War, enslaved American James Armistead acted as a double agent and provided valuable information to French general Marquis de Lafayette. Five years after the war, Armistead was granted his freedom and added "Lafayette" to his name.
