Sold Into Slavery?
Under the "Subsequent Service" section, it mentions that following the Siege of Charleston, some of the Chasseurs were claimed as war prizes sold back into slavery-- by the Americans. Is this accurate? After all it was the British who won the battle, not the Americans, and the Chasseurs were fighting on the side of the French-American alliance. And over 2,000 Americans were taken prisoner and many of them were put on prison ships. Would seem more logical that the British were the ones selling the Chasseurs as slaves in this particular instance. Does anyone have the Garrigus book cited here? Can someone double check if this is an error?

Good catch. The info does not come from Garrigus. Much of his book is online and there seems to be no mention of this. An essay about the Chasseurs states that the Brits captured a company at Charleston, but says nothing about what happened to the men. A subsequent sentence reports that the Royal Navy captured three transports carrying Chasseurs and took the men as prizes of war, not soldiers, and sold them into slavery. I will check further.
