  • The 1st Rhode Island Regiment (also known as Varnum's Regiment, the 9th Continental Regiment, the Black Regiment, the Rhode Island Regiment, and Olney's Battalion) was a regiment in the Continental Army raised in Rhode Island during the American Revolutionary War (1775–83). It was one of the few units in the Continental Army to serve through the entire war, from the siege of Boston to the disbanding of the Continental Army on November 3, 1783. The unit went through several reorganizations and name changes, like most regiments of the Continental Army. It became known as the "Black Regiment" because it was composed mostly of black enlistees. However, there were also some Native Americans. It is regarded by some as the first black military unit, because all the enlistees were non-white. (en)
  • Il 1º reggimento Rhode Island (noto anche come reggimento Varnum, nono reggimento continentale, reggimento nero e battaglione Olney) era un reggimento dell'esercito continentale reclutato nel Rhode Island durante la guerra d'indipendenza americana. Fu una delle poche unità dell'esercito continentale a servire durante l'intera guerra, dall'assedio di Boston allo scioglimento dell'esercito continentale il 3 novembre 1783. L'unità ha subito diverse riorganizzazioni e cambi di nome, come la maggior parte dei reggimenti dell'esercito continentale. Divenne noto come il "reggimento nero" perché aveva un gran numero di soldati neri nelle sue file. È considerato da alcuni come la prima unità militare nera, nonostante il fatto che i suoi ranghi non fossero esclusivamente neri. (it)
