Pawpine was born 1744 in Bondu which is located somewhere in West Africa. I choose this image because the image shows that the baby looks like Richard Pierpoint when he was young.
-
By the time he was sixteen he was captured by the Europeans then transported in in the middle passage for him to become a slave. I chose this picture because it shows what happened when he was capture.
-
He arrived at a slave market somewhere in Canada. He was then sold to a royal African company by Pierpoint, and then named Richard Pierpoint. I choose this picture because it shows how it looked like when he was sold.
-
Richard Pierpoint then joined the Canadian army and fought the American army for his freedom that he requests to King George the king that started slavery. I choose this picture because it shows the British which had Richard Pierpoint on their side fighting in their point of view.
-
At this time he left the army but at 1788 he was granted as a veteran if he ever comes back. I chose this picture because it almost looks like him except older.
-
The war of 1812 was a war for more. Pierpoint proposed to organize a Corps of Men of Color on the Niagara frontier. I chose this picture because it shows what happened to the British in their point of view.
-
This war was one of the deadliest and bloodiest wars on Canadian soil. Many black loyalists joined the war to continue their freedom. I chose this image because it looks like Richard Peirpoint is actually in this image.
-
He retired then builds a cabin which took four years to accomplish but he did it. He slowly became lonely and sad for a few years. He then died at the age of 93 in his retirement home. I chose this image because it almost looks like he lived here.
