Peters, along with David George, Moses Wilkinson, Cato Perkins, and Joseph Leonard, were influential blacks who recruited African settlers in Nova Scotia for colonisation of Sierra Leone. Peters himself was a former African-American slave who fled North Carolina with the British during the American Revolutionary War and later ended up as a leader in Freetown. Thomas Peters has been called the first African-American hero.〔(Shabaka Reveals The "Black Moses", Thomas Peters, America's First African-American Hero. ) BlackNews.com.〕 Peters, like Elijah Johnson and Joseph Jenkins Roberts of Liberia, is considered the African-American founding father of a nation.〔(Rough Crossings – LASTAMPA.it )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Peters, Thomas (1738-1792) )〕

Thomas Peters was born in Nigeria, and was an ethnic Yoruba of the Egba people clan.〔Sanneh (2001), p. 50.〕 In 1760, a twenty-two-year-old Thomas Peters was captured by slave traders and sold as a slave to Colonial America on a French ship, the ''Henri Quatre''.
