Since it appears they're being very thorough with this game, they may include the element of slavery. A large number of slaves fought for the British though. Some fought for the Americans before 1776, so we may see Connor interact with some who have been freed or escaped. Perhaps he will befriend them and they may be able to leak information about the Loyalists' plans. Maybe there will be a mission to help them escape from captivity in the night or something. We will see, but I too will be a tad disappointed if they don't include the slavery element. Not saying I want to see fellow Black people in such a sad situation, but in order to make it realistic, yeah....even if it's just one or two memories.
